Beautiful Antique Solid Silver Bracelet with Garnets. Central Europe, Circa 1900
This fantastic silver bracelet is a Central European piece that is over a century old and in excellent condition. The bracelet was crafted in the early 20th century (circa 1900), and its beautiful designwhich has stood the test of time and changing fashionsis truly striking. It consists of a series of links connected by flexible hinges: the links are made of solid silver, engraved with scrollwork and floral-inspired details. Each link features a garnet set in its center: the bracelet retains all of its original garnets, whose wine-red color stands out against the silvers luster.
The bracelet consists of six silver links, all exactly alike. The links are flower-shaped: the silver is carved in a somewhat abstract manner, creating symmetrical pieces with a decorative style. The silvers engraving is quite rustic, which adds a surprising modernity to the jewelrys design. The solidity of the precious metal is well reflected in the interplay of textures, evident in the shine of the reliefs and the roughness of the grooves.
The garnets adorning the links are delicately cut into a diamond shape. The combination of the cut and their deep red color is very appealing. The stones reveal their translucency through the cut, reflecting light and highlighting their warm, deep hue. The bracelets design is thus contemporary and delicate, making it a piece of antique jewelry with class and style, perfect for complementing the most elegant outfit.
Given its age and delicacy, this silver bracelet is destined to grace the wrist of the most elegant lady.
