Description

The listing, Vintage Trifari silvertone bow link bracelet has ended.

This is marked Trifari with the crown over the T and the copyright symbol, which means it probably dates to the 50's or 60's. It has a foldover clasp, which is secure. It's 7 inches long.

Oddly, some of the bows have one "ribbon" end, and some have one on each side. See the closeup photos. On the one hand, Trifari pieces usually have one design element repeated over and over rather than little differences like that. On the other hand, I can't figure out how pieces could have broken off this bracelet. It doesn't bend; the only way I could imagine getting a piece off it would be to use tools, and why would you do that?

It looks good when worn, though. I grabbed it in an antique store for $10 and wore it for a long time before I even noticed that the links aren't all the same. It makes a nice casual piece either by itself or grouped with other silver chain bracelets.

U.S. only, free shipping by USPS within two business days of receiving the winner's shipping info.

Thanks! It's pretty cool even though it's possibly been altered (as described above).
