Fashioned around 1950, this antique sterling silver bracelet showcases five polished Connemara marble cabochons, each displaying the unmistakable palette of Ireland's celebrated green marble. Framed by finely modelled silver leaves, the design draws inspiration from the Irish landscape, giving the bracelet a distinctive identity that remains as compelling today as when it was made.
Each oval Connemara marble panel is unique, with swirling greens, soft greys and creamy veining formed naturally over millions of years. The sterling silver settings embrace the stones with finely detailed leaf mounts, while substantial connecting links provide a fluid, articulated fit and demonstrate the quality of the craftsmanship.
Connemara marble has been prized for centuries and is often referred to as Ireland's national gemstone. Jewellery of this period celebrated native materials and skilled silverwork, making pieces such as this increasingly sought after by collectors of Irish and Celtic jewellery.
The bracelet remains in very good condition with light age-related wear consistent with its age. The sterling silver settings retain crisp detail, and the Connemara marble cabochons are secure with no damage.
