Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Reverse carved crystal, or Essex crystal, was a technique created by cutting pieces of rock quartz crystal into a convex form and then polishing it into a cabochon shape. An image is carved into the flat side of the crystal and then hand painted. From the front, the picture appears to be almost three dimensional. Many different images were used in reverse carved crystal jewelry and artwork, but animals were some of the most commonly used.
A beautiful reverse carved crystal bracelet from the Victorian (ca1880s) era! Crafted in 14k yellow gold, the bracelet is decorated with three Essex crystal cabochons. Each Essex crystal cabochon features a hand-painted of a boxer, all of which rest on a shimmery mother of pearl background. The painted carvings are highly detailed, and depicts each dog lovingly looking off to the right. The bezel set crystals are connected by gold links, which each depict crossbones. The piece secures with a simple spring ring clasp, which is marked "14K". A fabulous and highly-unique piece, this bracelet would be perfect for any boxer or dog enthusiast!
Measurements:The bracelet measures approximately 7 1/2" long. Each crystal portrait has a diameter of 5/8".
Condition:The overall condition of the bracelet is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold links or to the reverse carved crystals. The spring ring clasp is secure and in good working condition.
