| Etruscan Archaeological Bracelet c. 1935
NWS 14-948 - Inspired by the many 19th century archaeological excavations, including Pompeii, jewelry fashions began to take on the appearance of ancient artifacts. This stunning bracelet was meant to convey a a sense of ancient Rome - It is comprised of 5 links, and each link is gently domed; thus, if you place it on a table, you will see that each segment rises above the table surface by .25", adding to the sense that these links are miniature shields - While the bracelet is made of goldtone metal (probably brass), each link contains a silver wreath, symbol of Roman authority, that really stands out in the design, so fabulous - Measures 7.5" long and 2" wide - Shovel clasp c. 1935, in great condition, with an aged patina commensurate with its age, and some loss of goldtone plating on the reverse from normal wear. Price = $132.00 |
