Elegant, feminine, and perfect for a vintage-inspired bridal look or collector.

Authenticity Indicators
Fold-over clasp design is period-accurate; the textured leaf casting is consistent with mid-tier vintage costume brands; no visible hallmark (Confidence: High that it is true vintage, Medium that it is unsigned designer).
