Elco:
Elco produced gold-filled bracelets primarily during the mid-20th century, with most identified vintage pieces dating from the 1940s through the 1970s. The company, which originally focused on watch manufacturing, expanded into creating jewelry, including expansion ID bracelets and charm bracelets, during the 1950s. These items were popular during this era as an affordable, durable alternative to solid gold, often featuring high-quality construction with thick gold layers.
