About the Item

This exquisite handmade silver filigree bracelet, created circa 1920 at the renowned Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem, exemplifies the intricate artistry and cultural fusion that defined early 20th-century Judaica. The bracelet consists of six ornate medallions, each meticulously crafted in the shape of a stylized flower. Every floral panel features a central spiral motif surrounded by fine lace-like filigree work, showcasing the artisan’s command of silver wire manipulation. Each link is joined with delicate hand-forged rings, and the bracelet is secured with a traditional box clasp, also adorned with linear filigree designs. The reverse of one central flower medallion bears a rectangular plaque inscribed with the Hebrew word "ירושלים" (Jerusalem), a hallmark of Bezalel craftsmanship and an homage to the bracelet’s place of origin. The filigree technique used here reflects both Ottoman and European influences, blended seamlessly into a unique Judaic expression. Light yet detailed, the bracelet is not only a piece of jewelry but also a work of wearable heritage, steeped in Zionist and artistic history. Perfect for collectors of antique Judaica, early Israeli decorative arts, or lovers of masterful silverwork. Every item in Menorah Galleries is accompanied by a Lifetime Certificate of Authenticity and additional documentation and information regarding the individual artifact and its culture.
