Vintage 1920s Art Deco Chrysoprase Marcasite Silver Bracelet
- Description
- About us
Chrysoprase gemstones are green, the name means 'Golden Apple' in Greek.
Our Art Deco 1920/30s bracelet features chrysoprase square gemstones set alongside marcasite stones in a geometric setting. The bracelet is set in silver. The Art Deco bracelet has traditional geometric patterns associated with this period of design.
The 'stone' known as Marcasite is actually pyrite. Pyrite is cut into small pointed or rounded facets to create marcasites. Their lustre is metallic and their brilliance comes from light reflecting off of the facets. Marcasites were a fashionable alternative for diamonds as early as the 1700s. Marcasites were fashion in the mid-1800s seeing a revival in the 1920s/30s.

The dates on all marked items should be accurate if carrying hallmarks and makers marks.
