Faceted chrysoprase (glass?) stones are mounted in sterling silver in this outstanding Art Deco bracelet from Germany. Even if this piece weren’t marked, the stones, setting, prongs, and tongue-in-groove clasp all speak to the bracelet’s origins. In my opinion, the German costume jewelry makers in the 1920s-1930s were at the head of the class! This bracelet coordinates well with several other Art Deco chrysoprase pieces — scroll down to see a selection.
