Well, I'm pretty sure this is an American piece, made somewhere around the 40s, late 30s, early 40s. And I found it actually in Southern California, but it looks And I've had it for a while, and it actually sat at Alabaster for a few years. It's a pair with a Kas Beautiful. Kas This one did not. But what is so fantastic about these is that they have all these little wrinkles and stuff. They almost look Then they have amazing luster too. I think the combination of having this rough, very primitive African brass mixed with this exquisite thing is really wonderful. Perfect. The brass is also going to oxidize quite a bit. The wearer can decide whether or not they want it to be golden just by polishing it, or let it change color. A living finish. Absolutely. All of these metals are alive. And then this is a wonderful frothy brass chain mixed with just a whole nail lounge of different kinds of coral pieces. So it's got some presence, a little bit of ubla-la, but at the same time the delicacy of the chain is really nice. It's also still pretty light. Great.
