The fleur de lis ornamentation on the base is set off by tiny silver demi-sps front and back of the coffee bean. The coffee bean motif is a Mexican favorite and is seen in many versions but this is the favored strong, simple collectible version. The panels are connected by sturdy soldered silver rings finishing with an old style hook and bar closure. The curved backs of the panels make the bracelet a comfort to wear. Silver from this period was often crafted from 980 purer silver as it was easier to work with and resisted tarnish. NOTE the old style raised hallmark that further dates the bracelet to the early 1930's- 1940's. The condition is excellent with age appropriate wear but no major dings or dents.The photos will give an even better reference.
