VINTAGE SIGNED KRAMER FLORAL MEDALLION BRACELET
Faux Pearl • Rhinestones • Two-Tone Textured Rolo Chain • Mid-Century Costume Jewelry
A wonderfully unusual vintage bracelet by KRAMER, featuring a large dimensional floral medallion suspended from an ornate mixed-finish link chain.
The centerpiece is what makes this piece special: a sculptural five-petal flower set within layered engraved circular frames, creating an almost architectural, dimensional effect. A luminous faux pearl forms the center of the flower, while small rhinestone accents add subtle sparkle throughout the petals.
The bracelet chain is equally interesting, constructed from substantial interlocking round/Rolo-style links alternating between smooth silvertone links and elaborately textured goldtone links with raised spiral detailing. The combination gives the bracelet a rich, collected look rather than the lightweight construction seen in much modern costume jewelry.
The reverse of the floral centerpiece is clearly signed:
KRAMER
Kramer of New York is well known among collectors for bold vintage costume jewelry, particularly highly decorative rhinestone, faux pearl and statement designs produced during the mid-20th century.

CONDITION
This is a genuinely vintage piece showing considerable age and wear.
There is visible finish wear, patina, tarnish and discoloration throughout the goldtone and silvertone surfaces. Several of the small rhinestone accents in the floral centerpiece are missing. The center faux pearl remains present.
Please review all close-up photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
The existing wear gives the bracelet a distinctly aged vintage character, but it is being sold AS-FOUND rather than restored.
WHY IT’S INTERESTING
This is more than a basic chain bracelet—the oversized signed Kramer flower functions almost like a miniature piece of wearable sculpture. The engraved concentric framing, curling flower petals, faux pearl center and unusually detailed two-tone chain give it strong mid-century costume-jewelry character.
It would be especially appealing for:
• Kramer costume jewelry collectors
• Mid-century and vintage jewelry collections
• Statement jewelry styling
• Vintage fashion / editorial styling
• Theater, film or period costume wardrobes
• Jewelry study or reference collections
• Restoration projects
• Assemblage and repurposed jewelry design
• Display in a vintage jewelry cabinet or shadow box
• Collectors who prefer authentic patina and untouched vintage pieces
The large floral medallion could also make an interesting candidate for a future jewelry restoration or creative conversion project if the buyer prefers to repurpose vintage components.
A distinctive signed survivor with lots of visual character despite its age-related wear.
