This is a nice mesh link sterling bracelet featuring a design of shiny and textured vertical bars with a wire safety. The clasp is marked:
IBB is International Bullion Brokers, a company that has imported nice quality silver jewelry to the US for many years.
This bracelet is probably from the 1980s, although it has been worn very little, if at all.

CONDITION: This bracelet is in excellent (new) condition - no damage or wear.
BACKGROUND: I recently bought an incredible vintage jewelry collection amassed from the early 1950s through the 1990s. There are very few ordinary pieces, as this lady favored high quality, large scale, bold jewelry. There is something special about even the small pieces from her collection.
She shopped for jewelry literally everywhere - high end department stores and boutiques, juried arts and crafts shows, on trips, and (later in life) from the TV shopping channels.
I'll be listing many pieces over the coming months. Today I'm listing some of the silver and costume jewelry.
