Description:
AMERICAN SLIDE BRACELET – FIRST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY
This extraordinary Slide bracelet represents one of the most fascinating expressions of American jewelry from the first half of the 20th century.
Each element tells a different story, transforming the piece into a precious collection of gold miniatures crafted with an executive quality that is increasingly difficult to find today.
The double gold chain hosts a succession of movable slides, each individually worked and characterized by its own identity.
No two elements are alike: natural stones, polychrome enamels, floral motifs, engraved details, and relief work alternate with great harmony, creating a rich, elegant, and surprisingly balanced ensemble.
Amethysts, Corals, Aquamarines, Garnets, and other natural hard stones are found along the bracelet, alongside small Diamonds that introduce luminosity at strategic points of the craftsmanship.
Some slides are adorned with delicate, perfectly preserved polychrome enamels, while others feature refined carved motifs and a small cameo, testament to the skill of American goldsmiths in creating true miniature works of art.
The terminal element with green enamel and a relief figure is particularly sought after, a detail of great personality that underscores the bracelet's exclusive character and the decorative variety that distinguishes this type of jewelry.
Gold spheres distributed between each slide accompany the succession of decorative elements.
Each slider moves along the double chain, a sign of careful execution and perfectly efficient mechanics.
The entire bracelet is in truly exceptional condition.
The enamels are intact, the settings are regular, the surfaces retain a rare freshness for a jewel of this era, and each slide preserves the details of the original craftsmanship.
