THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Bracelet
Materials: 10k Gold, Blue Zircon
Size: 6 3/4"
Era: Art Deco 1920s
ABOUT:
Beautiful filigree link Art Deco antique bracelet with openwork geometric links crafted in a warm, rosy 10k gold. This is not the vibrant pink rose gold of today but a warm gold with rosy hues from antique patina to the gold. Three links are set with a pale blue zircon for a wonderful color and sparkle.
Not to be confused with "cubic zirconia", blue zircon is a very sought after natural gemstone, one of the birthstones of December and can often be scarcer to find than many other gemstones. Just like a diamond, natural zircon is known for its scintillation, brilliance, and flashes of color or fire - all very sought after properties. The stones measure about 5mm each, so I am getting a total carat weight of around 1.5 carats (depending on the online chart you use.)
Hallmarked on the spring ring and loop for 10k.
It would be a beautiful something old and blue for a bride.
MEASUREMENTS:
6 3/4 inches in length, the links set with stones are 9mm north to south. Each zircon is about 5mm. It weighs 4.55 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Just a few nibbles and nicks to the stones mostly seen under magnification.
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
