The vintage hinged bangle bracelet is made from Alpaca (a metal alloy of copper, zinc, nickel and tin resembling silver), inscribed 'ALPACA MEXICO'. It features a blue enamelled background with a central white flower design in mother-of-pearl inlay. The abalone shell pieces are inlaid around the flower, adding iridescent accents. The bracelet is likely of Mexican or South American origin, where Alpaca is commonly used in jewellery making. The bracelet's design and materials suggest it was crafted in the mid-20th century.
