1940's Taxco Pre- Eagle-GORGEOUS Synthetic Faceted Alexandrite~ Modernist Sterling Bracelet by "LC"-With Safety Chain-Design 109
Made in the 1940's with a modern day 'eye', this was designed with a timeless vibe that has nothing less than "over the top" elegance! It is made with a style where no matter how far we have come or where we go in design,this bracelet will always have a modern edge & never look outdated!
I think what I am so impressed with this one is, is not only the superb, (but simple) workmanship, but how well the stones are so beautifully faceted, that do nothing but give off maximum sparkle! It is designed in a hinge style that is made of 1/4" sterling all the way around.The faceted pear shape cuts of synthetic Alexandrite sit in the most incredible prong set housing that looks like a crown that royalty would wear. The backs are left open so you get maximum color & sparkle, no matter how bright or low the light is. The color changes from deep purple to a blue sapphire color & then can have a red berry color under other lights.
It is Made by Taxco artist "LC" & have nothing to give you, as far as a name or any past..This pre-dates & lacks the "Eagle" stamp that was used on pieces after the year 1948, for taxation on every piece being sold in & out of Mexico.
It is in very well condition for being in the 80 + year old condition & is just as pretty as when it was made!!
