This elegant vintage accessory is a gold-tone "statement" belt, featuring a series of rectangular or oval links with intricate openwork filigree. The design reflects a Victorian-revival or mid-century aesthetic, common in high-end costume jewelry from the 1960s through the 1980s. Each link is connected by sturdy jump rings, culminating in an adjustable hook-and-eye or lobster-style clasp, often finished with a decorative "tail" or fob. This style of belt was popularized by designers like Anne Klein and Judith Leiber for cinching waists over dresses or blazers. The bright gold-tone finish and 36-inch length make it a versatile piece for both vintage enthusiasts and modern stylists.
DIMENSIONS Length: 36 inches
CONDITION REPORT The belt is in very good vintage condition. The gold-tone plating remains bright with minimal "brassing" (wear-through to the base metal). All links are intact and the clasp is secure and functional. No significant kinks or breaks in the metalwork were observed.
