This exquisite vintage bracelet is crafted in solid 14-karat yellow gold and set with a succession of luminous natural opal cabochons, each displaying vibrant flashes of green, blue, teal, gold, and soft fire. With seven oval opal stations arranged along a classic linked design, this bracelet offers a continuous ribbon of color and movement on the wrist.
Each opal is securely bezel-set within a beautifully detailed rope-twist gold frame accented by small granulated gold beads—an elegant, old-world touch reminiscent of fine estate jewelry from the mid-century period. The links connecting each station are solid, allowing the bracelet to drape fluidly while maintaining exceptional structure and craftsmanship.
Weighing approximately 11.9 grams of solid 14K gold, and measuring 7 inches in length, this bracelet strikes the perfect balance between delicacy and presence. The opal cabochons measure approximately 9 × 8 mm, each with strong internal play-of-color that shifts beautifully with light.
This bracelet was originally hand-selected from an estate jeweler and added to the Betty Lily & Co. Private Collection for its quality, rarity, and unmistakable elegance.
