An elegant antique filigree clamper bracelet with a hand carved shell cameo, gold filled structure, and airy Edwardian-to-early-Art-Deco styling.
This refined circa 1920s bracelet has the graceful openwork presence collectors love in early twentieth century jewelry. The hinged clamper form is beautifully constructed, with a hidden custom box clasp that preserves the bracelet’s clean oval line when worn.
At the center is a real hand carved shell cameo, prong set and framed within the filigree design. Though petite, the cameo is finely carved, showing the profile of a woman dressed in Greco-Roman style with delicate facial features and classical detail.
The bracelet structure is gold filled, with richly detailed filigree work that may be gold plated. The openwork pattern gives the piece a light, lacy appearance while the oval bangle form keeps it tailored and wearable.
The bracelet is unsigned and remains in excellent antique condition, with a warm gold finish and beautifully preserved detail throughout.
