Overview
This is an authentic Brighton open-ring statement link bracelet crafted from heavy silver-plated alloy, accented with Swarovski crystal rhinestones, beaded milgrain detailing, and finished with Brighton's signature heart-shaped lobster clasp and 'B' charm. It is preserved with its original backing card inside a collectible lithographed heart-shaped metal tin.
Story
In 1991, high school sweethearts Jerry and Terri Kohl launched Brighton to revive heirloom detailing in modern accessories. Each piece is designed by in-house artists who sketch motifs by hand before casting.
Maker / Origin
Brighton Collectibles began in City of Industry, California, starting with finely detailed leather belts before expanding into jewelry, handbags, and charms. Known for their intricate silver plating, ornate scrollwork, and heart motifs, Brighton cultivated a devoted following of collectors through independent boutiques and company stores across America.
Condition & Value
Appears to be in excellent condition with no visible loss of silver plating, clear intact crystals, and crisp detailing. Stored in its original decorative tin on the factory card, which preserves full collector appeal.
