This 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.

QuickviewDiamanté Double Clip Brooch by Mazer Bros.
Double-Clip Brooches, 1930s Jewelry, Mazer Bros. JewelryUSD$345.00
QuickviewDiamanté Double Clip Brooch by Mazer Bros.
Double-Clip Brooches, 1930s Jewelry, Mazer Bros. JewelryUSD$345.00This double clip brooch by Mazer Brothers features sparkly round and baguette diamanté in a late-Art Deco design. What’s interesting about this piece is that the patent for the brooch mechanism that connects the dress clips was issued to Marcel Boucher in 1939, two years after he started his own company. He filed the patent application when he was working for Mazer Brothers, but the patent wasn’t assigned to them when it was issued. (You can see the utility patent here, below Boucher’s name.) I was surprised to find the “MAZER” mark on this piece from the technical perspective but certainly not from an aesthetic point of view. Because this jewel was created with the Boucher mechanism, I think it was made while he still worked for the firm. Wear this lovely piece as a brooch or as separate dress clips.

QuickviewDiamanté & Silver Vintage Dangle Earrings
Vintage Earrings, 1920s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryUSD$345.00
QuickviewDiamanté & Silver Vintage Dangle Earrings
Vintage Earrings, 1920s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryUSD$345.00These vintage dangle earrings are diamanté-encrusted with faceted, square-cut stones at the earlobe and as the focal point in the drop. Long and luxurious, these all-original Art Deco pendants have gold-colored ear wires with shepherd hooks for pierced ears. I am unaware of their metal content. I think these beautiful earrings are European in origin. Though stamped “SILVER” on the earring backs, I don’t think the settings are sterling. Pieces like these are difficult to photograph, and the earrings are much brighter and more sparkly than the photos indicate. This glamorous pair walked the runway at Toronto Fashion Week for Spring 2019. Scroll down to see a selection of coordinating bracelets.

QuickviewDiamanté 1930s Dress Clips
Vintage Dress & Fur Clips, 1930s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryUSD$175.00This pair of triangular-shaped Art Deco dress clips is beautifully embellished with baguettes, round diamanté, and a center marquis-shaped stone, all set in rhodium-plated base metal.

The last photo shows it on a black rubber cord; you may prefer to use a white gold or silver chain. A 17-inch, 2mm black rubber cord with a stainless steel twist lock (which is shown in the photo) is included with this purchase. Interestingly, the front of these clips is identical to a double-clip brooch (which is shown below), but the dress clip mechanisms are different.
