Swarovski Vintage S.A.L. marked gold tone gemstone bracelet

The marking SAL provided me with the information needed to identify this beautiful piece. Swarovski America , Ltd. Short for Swarovski S.A.L. was the first name under which the famed Austrian company began manufacturing their own jewelry. The “s.a.l.” mark was used from 1977 to 1988, but proved to be unrecognizable to customers; it was replaced with the trademark swan hallmark that continues to represent Swarovski jewelry today. Since 1989 all genuine Swarovski products feature the Swarovski swan logo. Pieces produced prior to this date have a different logo. This mystic topaz faceted gold-tone bracelet features the SAL marker. But, I can narrow it down that it was manufactured between 1977 and 1988. A real find!!! Reduced shipping
