When is costume jewellery not costume? Some would argue that it has to do with the use of precious materials - gold, gems, pearls, etc. I say that's a lot of hooey. This rare bracelet transcends costume and enters the realm of heirloom jewellery. Unbelievably gorgeous, it could even be an unsigned Haskell.  This ornate confection is composed of ten warm amber glass strands, attached to a central cluster/flower clasp. The “flower” clasp is wired with golden amber coloured petals around a citrine coloured centre.  The effect is pure opulence personified! Honestly, your friends are going to think you just inherited a fortune! Measures approx. 20cm, the clasp measures approx. 3.3cm.  The bracelet has recently been restrung.    There is a spare ring in the clasp, but this is not unusual, I have seen many Haskell pieces like this, it may have been made this way or one strand may have come off, needless to say that it is not really noticeable when on.
