Art Deco Purple Paste Bracelet
A striking 1920s rivière bracelet, dating from the Art Deco era, with bright purple paste gemstones set in pinchbeck, the metal having taken on a gorgeous matte patina.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
