Collector's Note
Powder blue milk glass is one of the most sought-after colorways in mid-century costume jewelry, prized for its soft matte glow and timeless elegance. Expansion bracelets from this era—especially wide, multi-row panel designs—were produced in far smaller quantities than standard link styles, making surviving examples increasingly scarce.
This bracelet’s combination of teardrop cabochons, opaque rounds, and icy blue rhinestones reflects the refined craftsmanship of 1950s production houses known for their dimensional aesthetic and meticulous stone setting. Its excellent condition, intact stones, and balanced color palette add to its desirability among collectors.
A beautiful and enduring statement piece for the collector who appreciates authentic mid-century artistry and the rising value of milk glass jewelry in today’s vintage market.
