About the Item
Exquisite and rare antique Straits Chinese bangle features a highly detailed, hollow-constructed dragon motif, with intricate Etruscan-style applied wire and granulation work. The delicate craftsmanship of the piece, including meticulous silver smithing and the incorporation of garnet stones, highlights the extraordinary skill required to create this bangle. Likely made in the Singapore region in the early 20th century, this is a fine example of Straits Chinese jewelry, a style influenced by both Chinese and Southeast Asian silversmithing traditions.
The bangle is handmade and, while unmarked, has been acid-tested to confirm its high-quality silver content. It features a hidden tongue-and-box clasp, adding both security and elegance to its design.
Circa: Early 20th Century
Materials:
Higher-grade silver
Garnet cabochons
Measurements:
Inner length: 6 3/4 inches
Maximum width: 1 inch (at the center)
Weight: 14 grams
Condition: Given its age, the bangle is in good vintage condition. There are a few minor granulation pieces (tiny silver balls) missing, though these are not noticeable except on close inspection. There are a few tiny dents and dings on the inner side of the bangle, but these are not visible when worn. The metal shows natural discoloration and darkening that comes with age, adding to its character. The clasp is in good working order.
Straits Chinese jewelry pieces, particularly those of this quality, are rare and highly collectible. This exceptional bangle is a unique piece of history, blending traditional Chinese design with local silversmithing influences from Southeast Asia.
