A gloriously sophisticated antique Art Deco sterling silver bracelet set with stunning big bold colourless Zircon gemstones. Not to be confused with cubic zirconias which are synthetic, Zircons are a natural earth-mined gemstones that have been prized since ancient times. They have a very high refractive index and have often been used as a diamond substitute in antique jewellery.
The bracelet features a gently graduated line of bright white zircon gemstones at the front that display a stunning fire and brilliance. Riviere style they are open backed and claw set into decorative crown shaped cups. The bracelet is finished in long slender 'tank track' silver links, it fastens with a classic bolt ring fastener and benefits from a safety chain adding to the overall elegance.
An exquisite piece, this bracelet showcases the finest style and quality of the Deco era and is beautifully wearable. Perfect for the wedding bride and those seeking authentic Art Deco jewelry.
