ABOUT THIS BRACELET

A beautiful blending of wearable art and a captivating color combination are all wrapped up in this dramatically stunning and collectable jewel by the eminent American jeweler Black Starr and Frost. Strikingly designed, circa 1920, the fabulous bracelet is composed of translucent green chalcedony, royal amethyst purple glass, and small bright white round diamonds. Though a popular color palette long before the suffragist movement, the Women's Social and Political Union did choose the colors green, white and purple as emblematic of their cause. Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, editor of the weekly newspaper Votes for Women, wrote, 'Purple as everyone knows is the royal colour, it stands for the royal blood that flows in the veins of every suffragette, the instinct of freedom and dignity...white stands for purity in private and public life...green is the colour of hope and the emblem of spring.' A truly rare, remarkable and ravishing Jazz Age jewel. Total diamond weight, 1.25 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum, it measures 7 3/4 inches.

About Art Deco Jewelry

Sleek and modern, Art Deco design brought jewelry into the machine age. Yet these stylish pieces still found room for the fine forms and lines of previous eras within their elegant architecture. In particular, we see many peaceful co-habitations of Edwardian and Art Deco styles together.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
