  Notes:

  A very unique hand-carved bone bracelet from the Retro (ca1940) era! This unusual artisan piece is comprised of 14 rectangular panel bone links, which are strung on clear Strech cord to form a flexible bracelet. Measuring 7.5 inch. Each link has a carved front surface representing a Mahjong tile. A whimsical piece, this bracelet has a classic look that would make a lovely addition to any collection! Great for stacking!! Antique jewelry made from carved bone was very popular during the Victorian era (ca 1880). Bone is a hard material from the skeleton of most vertebrate species, but the variety mainly used in jewelry is from such animals as the wild boar or domestic animals. It was used to imitate ivory, which was more expensive.
