Enchantingly over-the-top folk art bracelet by Ricardo Salas for MATL sports a fanfare of paisley dangles set with coral cabochons and textured, beaded links in pre-Columbian style by way of Cecil B. deMille. Clinks like a million martini glasses on Madison Avenue after 5! This visually enticing piece has acquired a lovely patina that highlights its myriad knobs, swoops, spirals and swirls. A fun, fab, feminine piece with loads of play value, it looks super on!
