VINTAGE ARTHUR PEPPER/ART(CO.) STUNNING RHINESTONE GOLD-TONE BRACELET

Description: STUNNING ARTHUR PEPPER-ART(CO.) RHINESTONE & CABOCHON GOLD-TONE BRACELET This beautiful bracelet has been in my jewelry box for about 50 years. I had bought it at an antique mall event in downtown Chicago. It is signed with ART CO. The bracelet is in great condition but has 2 small rhinestones on either side missing. I had to use a loop in order to make that discovery. They are set in an antique gold-tone metal, hinged filigree with slide closure and safety chain. The feature "stone" is a white, textured "cabochon" which I assume is glass. The bracelet is oval in shape: inner dimensions 2 3/8" x 2 1/8". The bracelet is definitely rare; I haven't been able to find any bracelet similar to it in online searches. Please see the synopsis below which gives more info about Arthur Pepper & Art jewelry. This piece comes from a healthy, clean, pet free, smoke free home._____________________________________________________________________________________________ ART - Mid 1940's - late 1970's Source: Internet AJ Costume Jewelry Store ART jewelry was produced by ART MODE JEWELRY CREATIONS, INC. The company made fine costume jewelry from the mid 1940s until the 1970s. The jewelry made had variety, unusual designs, usually with a Victorian or Art Deco style with glued in clear and multi-colored rhinestones and simulated pearls done in antique gold-tone metals. The company had commonly used unique color combinations of high quality rhinestones and cabochons that were set in ornate metal work or filigree. The jewelry produced was similar in style to those produced by Florenza and was also comparable in quality and variety to that of Hollycraft. The medium to high quality jewelry pieces include figural items and Victorian pieces in many different styles. Marked: "ART in a square with a copyright symbol". ART jewelry is becoming very collectible and the quality pieces with unusual designs, multicolor stones, figural pins and pave set pieces are the favorites and are expected to rise in value. The company ceased operations in the late 1970s. ART jewelry is very rare in the open market, which makes it highly sought after by collectors and "spurs" prices.
