These works of art are both like jewelry and functional. Made to be worn as an accessory rather than a second addition to your outfit, these pieces were meant to be the standout object of the outfit. Dramatic and fun. Crafted during the 1980s fashion boom, this minaudière showcases heavy, structured metalwork. Artisans used gold-toned plating (gilt metal) over a hard framing mold to replicate architectural and fine-jewelry textures. Covering the surface is a three-dimensional \"Diamond Cut\" motif. The raised, pyramidal studs capture and fracture evening lighting, allowing the bag to shimmer like real gemstones without relying on heavy crystal pavé work.Designed for dual-function utility, it features a secure push-lock top clasp and built-in interior side loops. The fluid, serpentine chain can be tucked cleanly inside to style the piece as a handheld clutch, or pulled out to wear as a sleek shoulder bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMATERIAL: metal\u003cbr\u003eCOLOR: gold\u003cbr\u003eBRAND: Shals International\u003cbr\u003eSIZE: small\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION: good vintage subtle wear; no flaws\u003cbr\u003eERA: 1980s\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTRAP FALL: 21\"\u003cbr\u003eLENGTH: 6\"\u003cbr\u003eWIDTH: 2\"\u003cbr\u003eHEIGHT: 4.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Firegypsy Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67592613167419,"sku":"26-397152","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5573\/files\/dcpzy43fkpp23uad8skl.jpg?v=1790546540","url":"https:\/\/firegypsyvintage.com\/products\/hard-case-metal-clutch-chain-minaudiere-purse-vintage-quilted-oval-gol","provider":"FIREGYPSY VINTAGE ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
