Description

Rare one of a kind handmade antique Edwardian / Art Nouveau moonstone bracelet: * Glowing oval cabochon moonstone or moonstone like gems - each just a little irregular or imperfect in shape, just the way good old hand cut old stones should be * High grade valuable transparent stones with a watery blue sheen - often called lush blue or clear blue in color - all perfectly matched * Framed in their own custom fit open back bezel setting * Fitted with fantastic hinges between each jewel * Perfectly forms to the wrist * Leaf shaped and detailed chain links form the remainder of the bracelet * Tulip shaped box insert clasp * Each and every stone, detail, piece of metal work is special and unique it it's own way * Ready and waiting for your wrist, collection, or gift giving ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = True original authentic antique. Pre-dates the metal stamping act of 1906. Broadly guessing late 1800's to early 1900's in age - Edwardian or Art nouveau in style with the subtle floral motif METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Genuine finest grade gemstones - I believe they are high grade moonstone or very close relative and 925/1000 content (tested) sterling silver CLOSURE/CLASP = Box insert clasp MARKS = None that I could find MEASUREMENTS = Wearable length (not counting the portion of the clasp that inserts) of 7 3/4" - largest / middle cab is 5/8" tall x 3/8" wide and they graduate or taper down in size to the end / smallest stones that are aprox 3/8" tall x 1/4" wide. Leaf patterned chain is 1/8" wide US RING SIZE = x WEIGHT = 9.7 grams on my scale CONDITION = Fantastic condition for the age - no damage or quirks found to mention. There are some natural inclusions to the stones as one would expect - but amazingly enough no chips, cracks, etc. to any of the gems to speak of. View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting.

Pictures normally speak louder than words and individuals also interpret characteristics differently.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS , PLEASE READ: I reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable. The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end. You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region. It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you. I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all. Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction. I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags. I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way. I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount. What I can and will do is include any other purchases made at the same time with no additional added shipping cost to you - just pay a single fee and the rest ship for free . Makes it all seem a bit better if you can find a few things that make you smile and just have pay one flat rate to get them from me to you :) NO WORRIES - SMILE AND SHOP AWAY!
