Crafted by hand in Italy during the mid-20th century, this striking piece showcases natural opercula. An operculum is a retractable calcareous plate found on the opening of a gastropod shell. It is attached dorsally to the gastropod's foot and serves as a protection against predators and drought. Each operculum is uniquely shaped, with larger plates elegantly 
centered to create a captivating focal point. The organic variation in size 
and texture adds depth and character, making this a truly one-of-a kind treasure for collectors and lovers of vintage marine-inspired design. While the bracelet bears no hallmark, its distinctive craftsmanship speaks for itself—evident in every detail and artisanal touch.
