ModernArtist SilverWire Geometric Spirals HandmadeWithPliers Seven Link Bracelet

About the Item

This modern one-of-a-kind geometric-spirals seven-link bracelet was expertly handmade from silver wire dating to the 20th Century in a style not earlier than Art Deco. There are no marks or jewelry techniques other than from the pliers used to bend the wire into the seven differently-shaped links. If not by mid-century artist Alexander Calder, it is in the style of his thousands of pieces of plier-bent wire jewelry that were astonishingly all unique. This attractive bracelet with atypical three-dimensional pieces would have been reproduced if it had been created by a jewelry designer. While a variety of geometric shapes are often combined in wire bracelets, we have never found one like this in which the artistic finesse is so consistent and stylized on each single-wire link despite each one being a unique hand-formed design. The lightweight bracelet closes with a spiral hook. While it is easy to fasten, it is more difficult to do on your own wrist by yourself. So we suspect this was made by a man whose wrist was too big to try it on.

Located in Chicago, IL
Possibly as old as the 1800s or a later Baroque-revival imperceptible reproduction, this antique handcrafted gold gilt-silver vermeil filigree-frame textured-chain link bracelet likely originated in the European region of Austria-Hungary-Germany.

Including a decorative box-clasp, the ornate bracelet also features 14 prong-set round white pearls mostly mounted on the open-work filigree and 6 marquise-cut vanadium chrysoberyl...
