Peaceful Ride Bracelet - Faceted Smoky Quartz rondelles and sterling silver Balinese
beads finished off with a large heavy Vintage Reverse Horse Head Intaglio Box Clasp Set
in Sterling Silver. Measures just shy of 8". Will fit 6-1/2 to 7-1/2 inch wrist nicely. Can
be resized. SOLD
About the Clasp:
The vintage clasp is hand painted from behind. Set in a sterling silver. Essex crystals,
sometimes referred to as reverse crystals or Intaglio, came into being in the mid to later
19th century. Rock crystal is cut en cabochon (a back flat, the front rounded and
smooth). Skilled artists then carved out the rock crystal from the back in a desired form
– often animal motifs. Once carved out, the depressions were then carefully painted in
detail. Mother of pearl was often used as a base and backing and once turned to the
front, an extraordinary image is evident in-the-round. Horses, dogs, cats, pheasants and
sporting scenes were some of the more featured themes. Depending on the size of the
crystal, and the skill of the artisans involved, some are rich in detail and can be viewed
from the side and appear near life-like in their three dimensional nature.
