About the Item

This antique silver panel bracelet is a remarkable piece of historical craftsmanship, blending religious artistry with intricate metalwork. Made from Bible clasps into this fine and beautiful bracelet. The bracelet is composed of several rectangular panels, each finely engraved with depictions of biblical figures, likely illustrating significant scenes or saints from Christian tradition. These figures are rendered with exquisite detail, showcasing the skill of the artisan in capturing the expressions and postures that convey the spiritual narratives. Interspersed with these biblical scenes are elegant floral designs, delicately engraved into the silver. These floral motifs provide a beautiful contrast to the religious imagery, adding a sense of natural beauty and harmony to the overall design. The flowers are likely symbolic, possibly representing virtues like purity, faith, or rebirth, enhancing the bracelet's spiritual significance. The silver has developed a slightly patina over time, giving the bracelet a sense of age and history. This patina adds depth to the engravings, emphasizing the fine details of the figures and floral patterns. The bracelet is fastened with a push-pin clasp, a traditional closure that is both secure and functional. The clasp is seamlessly integrated into the bracelet's design, ensuring that it maintains its aesthetic integrity while providing a reliable closure. Measurements: Inner circumferences 6 7/8 inches Width: 1 1/8 inches Weight: 53.74 Overall, this antique silver panel bracelet is not just a piece of jewelry but a wearable piece of religious art, reflecting both the devotional and artistic sensibilities of its time. Its intricate engravings and detailed craftsmanship make it a unique and meaningful heirloom. The hallmark on the bracelet shows a walking lion with number “2” below the lion, indicates a fineness of .833 silver. The panels of the bracelet are not completely straight to each other.
