This is one of the most gorgeous sets I've come across. It definitely has the Austro-Hungarian look, but since most were not marked as is the case here, so I can’t say for sure.
The bracelet is made of six sections, three with large 3/4" glass pieces that mimic turquoise, and three with faceted carnelian. My guess is that this is Czechoslovakian.
Each section measures an inch square. The carnelians are faceted in blocks that are four to the width and five to the length. Wrapped from alternate sides is a delicate Fleur de Lis with a turquoise bead in the center. This all sets on a filigree base with two more turquoise beads on the other end.
The turquoise sections are wrapped on both sides (with the exception of the section at the clasp that is missing) with a filigree fan. Each corner of the filigree base holds a pronged coral colored bead which may be carnelian or glass. Total length of the bracelet is 7-3/8 inch and it still holds its original security chain.
The clip earrings are set at an angle and done in turquoise with four carnelian beads, one in each corner.
Don't forget I'm trying out my Attic Sale on the entire inventory. I show the replacement/book value, but you tell me what you can pay to make something yours. It's been fun, so don't be shy.
All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. |
