A substantial vintage sterling silver Byzantine chain bracelet with a richly dimensional woven link and a longer unisex fit.
This vintage sterling silver bracelet features a classic Byzantine chain construction, with tightly interwoven rounded links that create a sculptural, flexible feel on the wrist. The chain has a substantial presence at approximately 6mm wide, while the longer 9 1/4 inch length makes it a good option for a larger wrist or for anyone who prefers a looser bracelet fit.
The bracelet appears hand crafted rather than mass produced, with an older character and a pleasing weight of approximately 15 grams. It closes with a spring ring clasp attached to a marked ring. The marks are difficult to read, but one appears to resemble a bird’s head facing right above a three-tower form similar to the Edinburgh assay mark. Because the marks are not fully legible, the origin is not guaranteed; the bracelet has been carefully tested to verify sterling silver content.
