Vintage Ivory Whale Bracelet
Vintage, Jewelry$340.00Vintage Ivory Whale Bracelet
This is the most delicate carved ivory bracelet we have seen. The whales are carved in bas relief on the fresh walrus tusk discs. It came out of a collection of a gentleman who lived in Alaska around 1950, so it was made late in the 2nd quarter or early in the 3rd quarter of the 20th century.
The bracelet is 9/16 inch at the widest points. It could fit a wrist of up to 6 inches, either a child, or an adult with a narrow wrist. It is re-strung on elastic jewelry thread.
