Chinese Enameled Silver Bracelet from the 1920s. With Carved Stones and Original Case
Beautiful Chinese bracelet made of gold-plated silver, decorated with enamel in various colors and featuring hand-carved tiger's eye stones in the shape of a flower. This piece dates from the 1920s and is an original accessory from that era, presented with its original case. Despite its age, the bracelet is in magnificent condition and remains as beautiful and elegant as the day it was made. This piece consists of five articulated silver segments, connected by delicate hinges and each adorned with a hand-carved tiger's eye featuring lovely floral motifs. The silver is finely gold-plated and embellished with embossed motifs and colored enamels. On the clasp, the word "SILVER" is engraved into the metal, attesting to its authenticity.
Upon closer inspection, you can see the delicate embossed designs on each piece-featuring flowers, leaves, and scrollwork. The design is consistent across all segments and is embellished with brilliant blue, turquoise, and green enamels. The enamels are perfectly preserved, as are the joints between the segments. Standing out from the rest of the decoration, the five tiger's eyes adorning the bracelet showcase their beautiful hand-carved details, which also depict floral motifs. Each carving is distinct from the others, giving the bracelet a very special charm.
The tiger's eyes also display their beautiful color, with shades of brown, ochre, and gold that blend together to create delicate gradations and give each stone a unique and distinctive appeal. The stones are securely set in the silver, so that the metal carefully conforms to the relief of the carving. The bracelet is protected by its original case, which is rectangular and elongated. On the outside, the case is covered with fabric embroidered with fine, abstract motifs of Eastern inspiration, while the interior is lined with white fabric. Both coverings are in excellent condition.
This magnificent silver bracelet is a beautiful vintage piece of jewelry whose design has remained timeless over the decades and will undoubtedly be the perfect accessory for an elegant lady's wrist.
