Italian Sterling Silver Box Chain Bracelet with Graduated Bead Drop Pendant - An Italian sterling silver bracelet featuring a box link chain and a central graduated bead drop pendant. The pendant consists of seven beads arranged in a vertical drop: a black glossy bead at the top, followed by a large textured silver sphere, two black glossy beads, one small smooth silver bead, one tiny black glossy bead, and a terminal tiny silver bead. The piece is secured with a spring ring clasp. The metal is identified by several marks. One end tab is stamped 925 within an oval cartouche, and the spring ring clasp is also stamped 925. The opposite end tab bears a maker mark consisting of three overlapping circles arranged in a triangular formation. Below this logo, the word ITALY is stamped above a registration mark containing a star symbol and alphanumeric characters that are not fully legible. Total straight length approximately 6.85 inches. Folded chain circumference approximately 5.4 inches. Pendant drop length approximately 1.45 inches. The bracelet is in good vintage condition. Visible surface oxidation and tarnish are present on the silver components, most notably on the textured pendant bead and the clasp assembly (Photos 2 and 3). The glossy black beads and smooth silver beads appear free of chips or significant scratches. The chain links and clasp mechanism appear intact.
