- Lot Description
Eastern Europe, Balkans, Bulgaria, Ottoman Empire, ca. 19th to early 20th century; Northern Africa, Algeria / Morocco, Berber, ca. 19th century CE; Near East, Yemen / Oman, Bedouin, ca. 19th century CE. A collection of 6 pieces of jewelry: a Berber enamel bracelet, an Ottoman gilt brass cuff, a matched pair of high-quality sterling silver Bedouin earrings, a Berber brass and glass ring, and a sterling silver Berber ring with a Venetian Murrina glass inlay. Please see the extended description below for more information on each piece. Size (glass ring face): 0.75" Diameter (1.9 cm); (band opening): 0.75" Diameter (1.9 cm); US ring size: 4.5; (silver ring face): 0.85" Diameter (2.2 cm); (band opening): 0.77" Diameter (2 cm); silver quality: 94.16%; weight: 10.4 grams; US ring size: 4.25; (earrings): 1.8" L x 0.3" W (4.6 cm x 0.8 cm); silver quality: 94.23% to 95.6%; weight: 4.4 grams; (cuff bracelet): 2.8" Diameter x 1.6" W (7.1 cm x 4.1 cm); (enamel bracelet): 2.4" Diameter x 1.1" W (6.1 cm x 2.8 cm)
The enameled bracelet is 72.94% silver and comprised of 2 large silver plates connected by a hinge and pin clasp - the exterior is adorned with colorful blue, green, and yellow enamel and raised granulated spheres and 4 bezels containing red coral. The cuff bracelet is cast brass with 12% to 18% silver and 26.5% gold gilt inlays with large protruding bosses at the sides and smaller rosettes along the flanges. This style originates in Medieval times in Macedonia and Thrace as a fertility symbol that was presented to brides on their wedding day. The first ring is nickel-brass with a rosette face inlaid with red, green, and blue faceted glass. The other ring is 94.16% sterling silver, with a thick shank and lovely applied granulation and wires around the central glass inlay. The Venetian Murrina inlay is comprised of multicolored canes of glass cut in cross-sections to reveal the inner layers which creates the eye like patterns. The Bedouin earrings are also high-quality silver between 94.23% to 95.67%, and consist of silver sheets rolled into a hollow conical shape with foliate shaped wirework and granulation decorating the front and base of the earlobe hook. The bracelets and rings are wearable, but the earrings would need added ear hooks due to the inelasticity of the original wires.
