Deco Look MOP Bracelet & Dangle Earrings Signed
Art SOLD Mother of pearl and black enamel set in silvertone links make this bracelet so deco that for a minute I thought it was the real deal from the 1920's. But the style along with the ART signature dates this beauty to the 1950's when black and white as well as the art moderne style were in full swing. Actually, this is a very scarce find by ART from their early days. The bracelet features genuine Mother of pearl inlay. Next to black enamel, the contrast creates a clean, dramatic look. Bracelet clasps at 7 1/8" and is 1 1/4" wide; the matching screw-on dangle earrings are 1 1/2" long. All jewelry is signed (c)ART and is in Very Good condition with minor wear and darkened glue in crevices that can be seen mainly under magnification. You'll be too busy accepting compliments to ever think about it! |
