Midcentury Double Strand Coral Bead Bracelet

Dating to circa 1950, this Midcentury bracelet features two strands of graduated orange coral beads finished with a 14KT gold clasp accented by cultured pearls. The natural variations in the coral create subtle shifts from peach to deeper orange throughout the bracelet.

The bracelet measures about 6 inches long.

Multi-strand jewelry depends on more than the individual beads. Spacing, graduation, strand arrangement, and the clasp determine how the piece sits and moves on the body. Here, the double strands create volume without heaviness, while the pearl-accented gold clasp provides a small visual surprise at the back of the wrist.
