Coral-Color Lucite and Gold-Tone Panel Stretch Bracelet

1950s–1970s

Estimated value: $24–$39

Lucite and gold-tone costume jewelry boomed in the 1950s–1970s as affordable, colorful alternatives to fine jewelry during a period of expanding middle-class consumption and fashion experimentation. These stretchy panel bracelets were mass-produced in the United States and imported from Asia, worn casually by everyday women as cheerful, practical accessories that coordinated with the era's bold color palettes and modern aesthetic.

Value is most affected by condition of the elastic and lucite panels (no chips, crazing, or fading), whether a maker's mark is present (signed pieces by known makers like Lisner or Napier command higher prices), and the vibrancy of the coral color.
