Mid-Century Retro Swirl Motif Expansion Bracelet

This item is a vintage mid-century Retro period expansion bracelet, likely dating from the 1940s to 1950s. The piece features a central decorative element in a stylized swirl or 'S' curve motif, common to the era's aesthetic. The centerpiece is crafted with a two-tone metallic finish, possibly gold-plated or gold-filled over base metal, exhibiting both polished and textured surfaces. One side of the swirl is accented with a row of approximately six to seven small round-cut colorless stones, which are likely rhinestones or paste given the period's costume jewelry standards, set into a silver-toned metal channel. The band itself is a wide, flexible expansion-style links with a bark-like or florentine textured finish that was popular for its ability to catch light. The construction indicates a commercial mass-produced quality from a firm such as Speidel or similar manufacturers of the time. The overall condition shows visible signs of age including surface patina, minor scratches, and some potential wear to the gold finish on the high points of the decorative center. The expansion links appear to retain their tension, though a closer inspection of the internal springs would be necessary to confirm structural integrity for daily wear.
