Vintage Gold-Tone Shell Cameo Link Bracelet

This is a vintage link bracelet featuring three oval-shaped hand-carved shell cameos. Each cameo depicts a traditional right-facing female profile in relief, carved from naturalist shell showing a creamy white figure against a warm peachy-tan background. The cameos are bezel-set into decorative gold-tone frames characterized by a distinctive rope-twist border design. The links connecting the cameos consist of alternating textured 'twisted' oval links and smooth, double-barred connector links, suggesting a mid-20th-century costume jewelry style, likely from the 1950s or 1960s. The piece measures approximately 7 inches in length and utilizes a classic spring-ring clasp for closure. Regarding condition, there is visible metal wear and patina consistent with age, particularly on the connector rings where the gold plating has thinned. The shell cameos appear well-preserved without major chips or cracks, though they show fine structural striations natural to the shell material. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mid-century costume jewelry, intended to mimic the appearance of solid gold and fine Italian carvings. No specific maker's marks are visible in the provided image, but the construction style is consistent with manufacturers like Coro or Whiting & Davis.
