Mid-Century Vintage Diamond Multi-Row Bangle Bracelet

This is a vintage hinged bangle bracelet featuring approximately 1.50 to 2.00 total carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds. The piece is crafted in white metal, likely 14k or 18k white gold or platinum, given its age and quality, though no hallmarks are visible. The design features an airy, open-work bypass aesthetic with five distinct rows that taper and widen at the center. The central section is accented by eight larger individually prong-set round diamonds arranged in a staggered geometric pattern typical of the late 1940s to early 1950s Mid-Century aesthetic. The outer rows are grain-set with smaller accent diamonds, adding a cohesive sparkle across the entire face of the piece. The construction utilizes a box clasp integrated into the band with a side safety latch for security. Given the 70-year provenance, the style aligns with the 'cocktail' jewelry era where white metal became the standard for showcasing the brightness of diamonds. Condition-wise, the metal shows a soft patina from age-appropriate wear, and all stones appear to be present and intact. The craftsmanship indicates high-quality bench work, particularly in the symmetry of the wirework and the precision of the diamond spacing.
