Late 20th century

Kieselstein-Cord, lovingly known as 'BKC', is one of the boldest designers of the 20th century. With his unapologetic and statement making jewelry and accessories, Kieselstein-Cord's love of animal, earth and sky motifs run consistently throughout his design sensibility. The present bracelet, which is part of his most famous Alligator series first introduced circa 1988, is an iconic example of Barry's love for stylized animal jewelry and this is crafted from his distinctive greenish yellow gold alloy and smooth matte finish.

Please note there is a crack to the gold from edge of alligator’s belly extending inward on one side, measuring approximately 0.8 cm in length, this can be seen in the images using the magnification feature. A small crack in gold extending inward along one side at the end of the alligator’s tail. Bracelet has been bent out of round causing the hinge not to close flush.
