Vintage Three-Row Purple AB Rhinestone Stretch Bracelet in Gunmetal Setting

Three dense rows of round purple aurora borealis rhinestones catch light from every angle, shifting between deep violet, blue, and iridescent rainbow depending on how they're worn. The AB coating — a mid-century innovation popularized by Swarovski in the late 1950s — became a staple of costume jewelry through the 1960s and 70s, lending even modestly priced pieces an almost otherworldly luminosity. Set in a gunmetal-tone cup chain construction, the contrast between the dark setting and the electric purple stones is striking and modern-feeling. Wears equally well dressed up or stacked casually.
