An enchanting antique Art Deco sterling silver bracelet featuring 'sugar-loaf' cut Scottish carnelians. The unique warm spicy red gemstones are slightly conical in shape with curved sides and tops. Open backed they are claw set in geometric settings decorated in milgrain beading and steely grey sparkling marcasite accent stones.
The carnelian panels alternate with oval open-work panels engraved in a floral pattern and also set in marcasite. The panels connect together in engraved bar links and the bracelet fastens with a fairly large bolt (spring) ring clasp.
There seems to be one of the oval open-work panels absent from one side of the clasp (there is one on one side and two on the other) also the connecting bar link in that area is engraved in a different pattern, likely an old repair/replacement and we have priced accordingly.
Absolutely gorgeous, this delicate, finely detailed antique bracelet presents design iconic of the Art Deco era, it's a great way to connect yourself with early 20th century fashion!
