ANSWER: EISENBERG ICE - PATENT GRANTED 1963
It's marked Eisenberg Ice. It is gorgeous, but I've not seen the clasp on any other Eisenberg pieces I've been able to find online. The clasp is marked "Eisenberg Ice, U.S. Pat" and "Copyright" (the whole word, not just the mark!). Can we date the era of this with those markings? Can anyone shed any light on this clasp??

"I have a couple bracelets with that clasp and they are same style as the bracelet you have shown only wider." --Dan Day, 04/10/09
"Since the copyright symbol was added in 1952 (I believe) I would say mid-1950s. I have also seen Eisenberg Ice necklaces with the same clasp, all that clear classic type rhinestone jewelry." --Dan Day, 04/10/09
"That's the same type of clasp as is seen on this bracelet:

That patent was assigned in 1963, so the bracelet is later than that." --Cheri Van Hoover, 04/10/09
