AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Gorgeous retro 14K gilded sterling-silver link bracelet from the well-known Hobé brand from the 1930s or 1940s with wire-worked detailed three-dimensional flowers, roses and leaves.
This iconic American brand is known for its high-quality handmade costume jewelry.
Although they were making clasps and accessories as early as the late 19th century, their fashion jewelry from the 1930s-1940s is highly cherished by retro enthusiasts.
The bracelet combines gold and silver (sterling silver vermeil) with large, striking green faceted-cut glass rhinestones.
Perfectly functioning box clasp and safety chain.
Length is 19.0 cm.
Weight is 29.30 grams.
Bearing the silver mark “STERLING" and "1/20 14K"
This indicates that the piece is made of sterling silver with a gold coating (also known as silver vermeil).
The designation 1/20 14K means that at least 5% of the total weight consists of a thick, mechanically applied layer of real 14-karat gold on top of the solid silver base.
After decades of careful collecting I have decided to part with (part of) my collection. I wish these special objects a place with a new enthusiast who understands the value of historical preservation. It is time these pieces receive the attention they deserve, so they will be preserved for the distant future.
I ensure extremely careful packaging and insured shipping.
