Scandinavian 1990s Silver Signed BlackThickWoolFeltDiscs PiaWallen Link Bracelet

About the Item

Swedish artist Pia Wallen made this modern bold black overlapping-discs link bracelet from her signature thick 100%-wool felt, which is assembled with silver round hardware for interior snap closure at the one signed "PW". Like Surrealist-artist Meret Oppenheimer's famous use of fur on a bracelet interior for Elsa Schiaparelli, Wallen's snug sheep-hair cuff suggests warmth, while the use of soft textural wool here is primarily decorative. The Stockholm-based artist produced this bracelet in the 1990s when she rose to international acclaim for transforming traditional Swedish craft techniques and folk patterns into modern minimalist black-and-white and monotone jewelry. Wallen's work is collected by both Swedish and foreign museums. Notably, the original collector of this bracelet purchased it at the former Manhattan avant-garde concept store, Moss. Since it opened in 1994, the museum-like showroom in Soho was the go-to shop for modern-design aficionados for 18 years.

  • ModernArtist SilverWire Geometric Spirals HandmadeWithPliers SevenLink Bracelet
    Located in Chicago, IL
    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...

    Located in Chicago, IL
    Possibly as old as the 1800s or a later Baroque-revival imperceptible reproduction, this antique handcrafted gilt silver filigree-frame textured-chain link bracelet likely originated in the European region of Austria-Hungary-Germany. We partly base this on its brilliant blue-green glass jewels in the rare trace-mineral saturated color of authentic alkaline Columbian emeralds. 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...
