    Carnelian, Onyx, Marcasite & Sterling German Bracelet

    , ,
    This marcasite bracelet has faceted carnelian and onyx glass stones set in sterling silver panels in an Art Deco design. This piece is an excellent example of high-quality German craftsmanship of the 1920s-1930s. Based on its width, I'm dating this bracelet to the 1920s, when bracelets were narrow and worn in multiples. This piece has a concealed clasp with a safety catch and was part of my personal collection. Scroll down to see a carnelian bracelet from the same era by Wachenheimer Bros.

    Carnelian German Art Deco Drop Earrings

    Carnelian German Art Deco Drop Earrings

    Three carnelian beads are connected by a delicate chain in these 1920s Art Deco drop earrings from Germany. The construction and materials are typical of German workmanship of the era. The original screw-backs were signed "STERLING GERMANY" and were converted to sterling posts for pierced ears by my expert jeweler. These earrings were part of my personal collection. I have two Art Deco carnelian bracelets, also from Germany, that coordinate well with this piece. You could also wear these earrings with Art Deco pieces that feature stones in addition to carnelian – scroll down to see a selection.
