Diamente Adornment - Vintage Silver Metal Paste Rhinestone Expandable Bracelet. This lovely bracelet is crafted from a silver metal. Featuring red and white crystal gemstones, and Vintage styling. The bracelet is expertly claw set with alternating clear and red sparkling crystals, which are set into an expandable silver frame. The expandable bracelet is a clever design, since it allows the bracelet to simply slip over the wrist. It is unmarked, however it has all the characteristics of an "Empire" piece, which was made in Asia for a British company between 1950 and 1970. This Vintage bracelet looks beautiful when worn, a wonderful easy to wear piece!
Rhinestones which are also known as diamantes or paste date back as far as the thirteenth century where they were first made from Czechoslovakian or Bohemian hand blown glass. The term rhinestone came along later, when rock crystals were discovered in and around the shores of the river Rhine in Austria.
