Mother of pearl or pearlescent lucite bangle bracelet

This bangle bracelet appears to be made of either lucite (a type of acrylic resin) with a pearlescent finish or possibly genuine mother of pearl. These types of bangles became popular during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s through 1980s, as costume jewelry that mimicked the iridescent qualities of natural pearl.

These bracelets are particularly valued by vintage costume jewelry collectors and fashion enthusiasts who appreciate retro accessories. The simple, elegant design with its luminous finish makes it versatile for both casual and formal wear, while its connection to mid-century fashion trends gives it historical appeal for collectors of vintage accessories.
