This bracelet is a celebration of color with its iridescent plum, green and wine-colored mid-century Czech & Japanese glass, and vintage hand-dyed mother of pearl buttons.
The pearl buttons were hand-carved from Mississippi River mussel shells by the American Pearl Button Company of Washington which operated between 1908 and 1964.
