Description: An intricately woven brass armband features a striking white tab adorned with alternating navy diamonds and stars. The armband is elegantly embellished with a cascade of fringes made from beads in vibrant shades of turquoise, white, red, navy, and black pearls. Four long, flowing streamers drape gracefully from the piece, each adorned with whimsical pompoms, while two handle-like streamers add a unique touch.
