Vintage 1930s Art Deco STURDY Signed Gold Filled Faceted Purple Stones Link Twist Bracelet 7”
Circa 1930s.
Beautiful example of the clean minimalist style of art deco jewelry. The clear purple rhinestones are bezel set and held in open back settings that let the color and light shine through.
Underside of clasp is signed “STURDY”. Unmarked for metal content, but is presumed to be gold filled based on knowledge of company and other jewelry of this era.
Bracelet measures approximately 7.1 inches long by 0.5 inch wide and has a foldover snap clasp.
In good condition for its age. There is some tarnish on the clasp, but is not noticeable when being worn. Please see all photos.
