Description
A superb early twentieth century moonstone bracelet, with two rows of graduated bezel-set moonstones (48 in total), shifting from clear to blues in their adularescence. A beauty of a thing, with hand-set stones, each different in size and height to the next. This bracelet exudes opulence in its two rows of stones as well as the moonstone-set box clasp, meaning that when you fasten the bracelet-all you have is a continuous bracelet of moonstones. A glorious thing indeed and similar to the other antique double-row moonstone bracelet I have for sale. The other is claw-set whereas this one has bezel-set stones. Buy them both and have an armful of opulent moonstones 🙂 or else gift one to your best friend and have one each. They rarely come along so it is a wonderful chance to acquire them both.Antique 48 moonstones bezel set bracelet in graduated double row design in silver with moonstone set clasp I will happily include the antique sink and velvet box, which may well be the original.
I love the graduated nature of the bracelet too, with the largest stones showing at the front of your wrist, naturally. Each pair of stones is on its own little silver panel and is hinged in two places to neighbouring panels. It means there is security and wonderful articulation in how it feels on your wrist. The moonstone-set catch is a lovely touch, with its four moonstones.
You can absolutely feel the hand worked element- the variation of stones is a reminder of the fact each was chosen carefully to fit into this piece of jewellery. Some stones flash blue more than others, some stones are more domed than others etc and the overall look of the bracelet is both naturalistic and elegant. It measures approx 1.8cm wide and its length is approx 19cm (7.5 inches). She’s a stunner and in excellent condition with no damage to the stones. I love that it has a double safety mechanism to give security when you wear the beautiful thing. Superb!
I shall send by complimentary Special Delivery within the UK or else by express courier internationally.
