This quintessential Art Deco line bracelet (called a flexible bracelet, in its day) with sapphire-glass squares channel-set in sterling silver is a typical example of the maker’s high-quality Diamonbar bracelets. The diamanté buckle is part of the clasp. This bracelet was made for a slim wrist, so please note the bracelet length (6 3/4″) and check your wrist size before purchasing this piece. I have the same piece with citrine-glass squares, although that bracelet is unsigned. You can wear this type of bracelet alone or in multiples.

Diamanté & Sterling Line Bracelet by Otis
Vintage Bracelets, 1930s Jewelry, Otis JewelryThis Otis sterling bracelet is a lovely example of an Art Deco line bracelet, the forerunner of today's tennis bracelet. It features faceted, square-cut diamanté channel-set in rhodium-plated sterling silver. Engraved edges and a diamanté-embellished fold-over clasp complete the design. The excellent articulation speaks to its high-quality construction, 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 jewel still has lots of sparkle. Scroll down to see coordinating pieces.$ 185 -
Sapphire & Crystal 1920s Pendant Earrings
Vintage Earrings, 1920s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryThese unusual Art Deco pendant earrings feature a large, faceted, bi-color crystal bead. Its top is clear, and the bottom is a deep-sapphire-blue. A small crystal bead is at the center of the silver-tone links, and a silver-tone filigree knot is at the earlobe. These all-original, long (2 1/2") earrings are dainty, yet full of life. The screw-backs can be modified for pierced ears. The screws are marked sterling, but I don't know if the rest of the findings are.
