Lapis & Sterling 1920s Bracelet
1920s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage BraceletsThis lapis bracelet features sugar-loaf stones (3/8" high) set in sterling silver that alternate with square glass links in a darker blue. The links and settings are sterling silver. This type of bracelet was called a slave bracelet when it was made in the late 1920s and 1930s.

Lapis Bead Czech Drop Earrings
1930s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese lapis drop earrings have a pair of glass beads, each capped with flower-petal-shaped metal. The lower bead is 1/2-inch in diameter. The size and color make these pendants a bit bolder in effect than Art Deco pieces from the 1920s. The original screw-backs were replaced with sterling silver posts for pierced ears by my expert jeweler. Scroll down to see a selection of Art Deco jewels to wear with these earrings.
