This charming bracelet was made by Goldette in the 1950s. It is reminescent of Victorian jewelry made in the early nineteen hundreds. The Victorian era last from 1837 through 1901 and was named after Queen Victoria of England, one of the most famous jewelry lovers of all time. This bracelet features a goldtone double chain with 6 large "slide" beads each sandwiched between two round beads. The slide beads are each inlaid with various faux stones including pearl, turquoise, rhinestone and cameo. There are also the following romantic motifs displayed on some of the beads (all common subjects in early Victorian jewelry): a snake, a star, and a goat.
