It looks like it may have originated on the Isle of Skye, or been crafted by a skilled jeweler in Dublin, but this wonderful bangle with it’s Celtic motifs was actually made in Russia. I suppose I shouldn’t be too shocked, after all the Russians were masters when it came to enamel and this richly enameled bangle has a rich, vibrant color.

Handcrafted between 1898-1908, this silver beauty would fit a wrist of up to 6.75 inches around. The wonderful shape flares to 27.4 mm north to south at the top of the bangle and narrows down to 9.9 mm at the back. This piece is hallmarked on the tongue of the clasp with the Russian Kokoshnic mark and the Assay master’s initials, ‘VB’. This beautiful bangle is done in sterling silver and weighs 24.7 grams. The glowing enamel and superb engraving make for a stunning beauty and it has a bit of safety chain for added security. It does have one small ding to the reverse.

The Arts and Crafts movement was born out of a rejection of the industrial revolution. Artist felt that the mechanization of creating daily objects detracted from the enjoyment of daily life as a whole. Furniture, household items, even jewelry, once made completely by hand, were now being machined, assembly lined, destroying the unique nature of hand crafted goods. Much of the jewelry done in the Arts and Crafts style was done in silver, using gems that were inexpensive and easily sourced, but some of the firms of this era, working in this style, used gold, and I’m always a little extra thrilled when I come across these beautiful representations of the craft.

This fabulous ring was made by the firm of Murrle, Bennett & Company, an Anglo-German firm started by Ernst Murrle and J.B. Bennett, which produced pieces for retail by the store 'Liberty and Co.', famous London Arts and Crafts dealers. The company was in existence from 1886-1914, this ring was most likely made around 1900. It is completely hand crafted, of course, in 18 karat gold, and is set with a bright blue cabochon of turquoise which measures 7.7 x 6.9 x 3.3 mm. The overall face of this ring measures 14.4 mm north to south and 17 mm across, it sits 5.1 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.6 mm at the back of the band. This size 9 ring is marked inside the band with ‘18ct’ and ‘M.B.C’.

So realistic that you can almost smell the piney scent of the North Woods on the summer air, this fantastically detailed silver bracelet encircles your wrist with beautiful pine cones and needles.

Hand crafted in Europe around 1890-1900, this bracelet has a touch of the naturalist Art Nouveau feel to it. Seven plaques make up this 7.25 inch long bracelet; each plaque features three perfect little pine cones and ruffled edge. The bracelet has hallmarks but we weren’t able to track down where it’s from, possibly French, it tests as better than 800 silver but not quite sterling. Each plaque measures 16.3 mm north to south and 23.6 mm across and the bracelet weighs 31.2 grams. It has a firm clasp and a safety chain for added security.
