Vintage Ruby Hinge Bracelet
Gemstones: A central floral motif set with genuine rubies and framed by rows of sparkling white stones, likely zircons or white topaz, based on similar pieces.
Material: Crafted from 925 sterling silver with an oxidized or "antique" finish to highlight the detailed filigree and metalwork, with 14K gold plating.
Construction: It features a hinged, openable design, secured with a clasp for ease of wear.
Artistry: The intricate open metalwork patterns and stone settings are characteristic of "Victorian" or "Ottoman" revival jewelry, frequently featuring floral or scroll motifs.
No appraisal has been done but metal and stones were tested, negative for diamonds, likely making it a vintage reproduction of an antique and not an original. History and origin on this piece are unknown.
Please note that one of the small, white stones missing. Since it is so small, and located at the very bottom edge, it is not something that is very noticeable. See photos.
Inside diameter: 2.5"
