Description

This original Art Deco chunky solid silver bracelet has a pleasing weight to it. Set with sparkling old single-cut pastes in a lovely geometric design typical of the 1920s-30s period.

The French jeweller Georges Frédéric Strass invented “Paste" in 1724. True paste is crafted from a special leaded glass that was painstakingly cut and then polished by hand with metal powder until it appeared to shimmer like a diamond. It was an instant success with the chic upper classes of Parisian society and continues to be highly sought after today. Nowadays paste is often used as a generic term to describe costume gemstones.

SIZE: Just over seven inches (18.5cm) long and 2cm wide.

WEIGHT: 53.8g.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: Stamped "935" - a silver fineness higher than sterling silver (925). We most often see 935 on pieces from Germany, Austria and Switzerland c.1920s-40s.

MATERIALS: 935 silver, paste gemstones.

CONDITION: Excellent antique/vintage condition.

ERA: Art Deco (c.1908-1940).
