This versatile diamanté French Art Deco piece can be worn as a brooch (at different angles, as shown) and as separate fur clips. The photos show a third option of wearing one clip as a pendant on a black rubber cord, although you may prefer a silver or white gold chain. The setting of this piece is rhodium-plated base metal; the brooch clasp is the trombone style, which is typically used in French pieces from this era. This piece is marked Deposé, which is the French word for patented. A 17-inch 2mm black rubber cord necklace with a stainless steel twist lock (the same as the cord pictured) is included with this purchase. Scroll down to see a selection of coordinating bracelets.

QuickviewDiamanté & Sterling Silver Buckle Bracelet by Otis
Vintage Bracelets, 1930s Jewelry, Otis JewelryUSD$245.00
QuickviewDiamanté & Sterling Silver Buckle Bracelet by Otis
Vintage Bracelets, 1930s Jewelry, Otis JewelryUSD$245.00This silver buckle bracelet features two rows of round diamanté set in sterling. The concealed clasp has a flat, rectangular tongue with a floral-decorated release button in the center; the straight safety-clasp swivels. This style of clasp was used by Wachenheimer Brothers (“WB”) late in their production. The back is stamped “3 20 17”, the date the patent was issued to them for the way the links are connected. However, even though this bracelet has these WB characteristics, it doesn’t have the Diamonbar mark. Some of the components or the entire piece may have been made by WB, but I believe this bracelet was sold by Otis, the company that purchased the equipment and inventory from WB after they went out of business.

Vintage Bracelets, 1930s Jewelry, Otis JewelryUSD$175.00This lovely example of an Art Deco line bracelet, the forerunner of today’s tennis bracelet, features faceted, square-cut diamanté channel-set in rhodium-plated sterling silver. Engraved edges and a diamanté-encrusted fold-over clasp complete the piece. The excellent articulation speaks to the high-quality construction of this bracelet, which actually was the same as that used by Wachenheimer Bros. (Read about the companies’ connection.) Bracelets in this style (known as flexible bracelets in that era) were all the rage in the 1920s-1930s and were typically worn in multiples. You can see this one paired with other line bracelets in the photos. Although the stones have aged a bit, this piece still has lots of sparkle. Scroll down to see coordinating pieces.
