About the Item

This Art Deco bracelet ascends from customary antique jewellery to the level of applied arts due to its rare combination in craftsmanship of goldsmithed 18K yellow gold, of delicately engraved coral beads and of a black enamelled finish. Four coral strands guide you to a Japanese garden with a central round coral bead with tulip engravings, which disguise the jewel's closure. Two engraved columns followed by black enamelled convex portals guard this gem. Being a strong representative of Japonism in the 1920's, this bracelet is eagerly waiting to serve its next Geisha.

Style: Art Deco Style specifics: Abstract motives and geometrical forms are quite typical for the Art Deco period. Period: ca. 1920 Source of inspiration: Japan Theme: Japanese style engravings in the coral Material: 18K white gold Technique: Enamelling is an old and widely-adopted technology. The ancient Egyptians applied enamels to pottery and stone objects. The ancient Greeks, Celts, Russians, and Chinese also used enameling processes on metal objects. Enamel is the colorful result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating on metal, glass or ceramic. Extra information: Japonism, or Japonisme, the original French term, which is also used in English, is a term for the influence of the arts of Japan on those of the West. The word was first used by Jules Claretie in his book L'Art Francais en 1872 published in that year. Works arising from the direct transfer of principles of Japanese art on Western, especially by French artists, are called japonesque.
