“Shell” Cocktail 1970s Bracelet

Designed in the bold cocktail style first popular in the 1940s, when oversized jewellry became a hallmark of the glamorous cocktail era. Drawing on that legacy, the piece features five large, sculptural links shaped like flowing shells or swirling waves, echoing the dramatic statement jewels of the earlier period.
Crafted in gold plated metal, each link is richly contoured with textured ridges and a smooth, polished finish, creating a dimensional effect on the wrist. The result is a bracelet that blends mid-century glamour with the expressive, sculptural design.
