ModernArtist SilverWire Geometric Spirals HandmadeWithPliers SevenLink 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.

- Antique ArtDeco French ArtPlasticSet BlackSphereMotif CrystalEarrings CoilBangleLocated in Chicago, ILIn the Art-Deco period when geometric, monotone and sparkly designs became fashionable, leading Paris-based couture designer Elsa Schiaparellli set trends with her artistic use of new plastic resins in bold costume jewelry. This progressive French style is exemplified by this unsigned antique black sphere-motif pair of a coiled bangle bracelet and two-tier crystal earrings. The heat-set curvilinear plastic, along with the silver screw-hardware of the earrings, date the set to no earlier than the 1920s and no later than 1930s. Each inch-diameter earring features 18 black molded bezels containing brilliant rose-cut crystals, while their filigree-like concealed black frames are riveted in back where they twist-fasten with very thin silver hardware. The rhinestones rise above the bezels to maximize their sparkle in rainbow colors, which is accentuated by the stacked frames...Category
