About the Item

Here at Kirsten’s Corner, we love gold nugget jewelry—we are inspired by the freeform and organic nature of the nuggets and the history that comes along with it. This gold nugget bracelet is from the Alaskan Gold Rush and tribal influences can be found in its incredible details. The bracelet is wide, yet consists of delicate chains, giving it both an airy, feminine look and a physical presence on the wrist. Five bar link elements feature a central diamond detail, hand made with a crude feel to them that we love. The bars have finials at the top and bottom that add texture and replicate the gold nugget. Between the bars are tiny chains of gold nuggets, held together by bar links. The bracelet features a cool hand made oval clasp with a matte texture that was built up by etching. It is adorned with three nuggets placed in engraved stars. The clasp closes with a nice, sturdy snap, and evidence of the hand made nature of this piece can even be seen in the file marks of the clasp, which was made specifically for this piece. A lot of jewelry from the Alaskan Gold Rush has Native American Indian influences, which are present in this bracelet.  Gold nuggets are formed by hot fluids flowing through cracks deep in the Earth’s crust. Weather eventually releases the nuggets into streams and bodies of water, where they are shaped by erosion and time. The free form dimensions of nuggets are organic and poetic, highlighting the buttery gold and extraordinary crevices—a beautiful display of gold in its natural, unaltered state. The bracelet fits up to a 6.25” wrist. Its width is 7/8” and each section of chain is 1”. The piece weighs 16.2 grams. The nuggets test as 22k gold; the rest of the piece tests as 14k. Unmarked.  Circa 1910. This is truly a one of a kind piece.

Victorian 14K Gold Cannetille Etruscan Revival Bracelet
Located in Venice, CA
A beautiful 14k yellow gold bracelet from the Etruscan Revival period, circa 1880. The bracelet is exquisitely hand-made and is a fine example of cannetille gold work, which is similar to filigree work with fine gold wires that curl around thinly hammered sheets. Cannetille gold work was inspired by embroidery and nature. The repeating curling designs on each segment of the bracelet are harmonious and elegant. The diamond shape of the segment has an oval decoration, framed with gold wirework, and inside this, there is a symmetrical curling design. Each segment measures one inch and the bracelet, made up of six segments, is approximately seven inches. Each segment is hollow, and connected through thick gold links decorated with gold beads. The bracelet feels great when worn, and has a safety chain so that it doesn't fall off. The bracelet weighs a total of 18 grams and is in perfect condition. This bracelet displays the aesthetic tastes of an era of nostalgia and romance. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800s there was a large excavation of Etruscan tombs outside of Rome. Within these tombs were pieces of original Etruscan jewelry. The Etruscans were master artisans, they created breathtaking pieces of jewelry through their use of gold wirework and granulation, colored gemstones and glass. The news of the excavation of these tombs, and the treasures contained inside them, spread throughout Europe. Etruscan style jewelry...
