I'm extremely please to have managed to buy this Bernard Instone bracelet they don't come along very often, the others I have are all enamel. I would think it was probably made in the 1930s. What I like about this bracelet is the Silver leaves and foliage and in between are two small teardrop cut Amethyst at either side, two rectangular peridots, two cabs which I think are agate and a large diamond shape cut Amethyst in the middle. The leaves are very ornate with swirls and berries, all set on an elegant frame. The back is typical Instone, I know Im always enthusiastic about the backs of his pieces. The bracelet itself is the expanding spring links type, one of the links had the springs missing and I was lucky to have it repaired.
Yet again no Marks of any kind, but there is no doubt in my mind that this Bernard Instones work.
Many thanks for looking
I love it. Most of these sorts of bracelets are much too big for me, so I admire from afar. :-)
Another beautiful addition to your Instone collection, Jean, BRAVO!
Beautiful, wonderful Instone piece. Almost Suffragette colours - though I have seen some jewellery with just the purple and green. I very much doubt he had their cause in his mind when creating this stunning bracelet.
Very beautiful!!
So very beautiful Jean. Another great addition to your exceptional collection.
I agree with Ken... your hands, lovely as they are, humanise the jewellery.
