Vintage Silver-Tone Ribbed Leaf Hinged Bangle

This is a wide, vintage silver-toned costume jewelry bangle featuring a botanical or shell-like motif. The piece measures approximately 1.5 to 2 inches at its widest point and is constructed from a non-precious base metal with a polished silver-colored plating. The design is characterized by large, stylized overlapping leaves or petals with deep, recessed vertical ribbing that creates a rhythmic texture across the surface. It is a hinged cuff style, with a visible pin-joint hinge on one side and a push-button or tension clasp on the other for easy wear. The interior of the band is smooth and polished to a high shine. In terms of condition, there is several areas of visible wear including surface scratches, some dulling of the finish, and potential plating loss where a darker base metal is beginning to show through, particularly on the inner band and outer edges. The craftsmanship is typical of mid-to-late 20th-century mass-produced costume jewelry, likely dating from the 1970s or 1980s based on its chunky, bold aesthetic. No visible hallmarks or maker's marks are present in the current view, suggesting it may be an unsigned piece or marked in an area not visible.
