Gorgeous VTG 14 Strand Pearl Bracelet w Impressive 18k Yellow Gold Emerald Clasp

Presented is a lovely multi strand pearl bracelet with 18 karat yellow gold and emerald clasp. This piece dates to around the 1960s-1970s and is likely of American make. The bracelet consists of 14 strands of fabulous pearls, each pearl about 3-3.25 millimeters in diameter. Each strand has about 59 pearls, so there are approximately 826 pearls total on this bracelet.

The bracelet can be worn in a tighter 'torsade' twist style or with the strands untwisted for a nice free moving feel. The focal point of the bracelet is a solid heavyweight 18 karat yellow gold clasp with a finely engraved texture, set with 16 vibrant green emeralds. The clasp is a tab insert style with a safety latch on the side for additional security, very well made and easy to put on and take off.

This bracelet is in excellent condition.  The emeralds are all intact and the pearls are all in good shape. The clasp and safety function well and close securely

The bracelet is stamped and guaranteed 18k.

The bracelet is about 7 3/4 inches long (without the tab of the clasp, which does not contribute to the overall length when worn).

The bracelet weighs 46.5 grams. We estimate (based on the weight of pearls of that size) that the clasp is at least 20 grams and as much as 25 grams of that weight.
