    • An unusual antique early 20th century sapphire openwork bracelet crafted in solid 18K gold, circa 1900.

      The articulated bracelet is designed with alternating panels of gold and silver. The gold openwork panels are intricately chased with naturalistic foliage and flower motifs. This specific engraving/chasing style appears to be of North African (probably Moroccan) work. The smaller square-shaped panels are crafted in silver, each holding a sapphire cabochon in a migraine bezel setting in gold. The bracelet is completed with a safety chain and box clasp, of which the tongue is even engraved, a testament to the attention to detail of the craftsman who made this fantastic piece.

      The bracelet measures 19cm in length and weighs an impressive 19.32 grams. The tongue is stamped with two French import marks; the owl hallmark to indicate 18k gold, and a swan for .800 silver.

      A truly beautiful and ornate example of late Victorian era craftsmanship! The sapphires have a total carat weight of 3.9cts, each weighing approximately 0.65cts.
