Tally Ho Bracelet - Triple Strand of Olive Jade, Peridot and Bali Sterling Silver with
large heavy Vintage Reverse Intaglio Box Clasp Set in Sterling Silver 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 is detail and can be viewed from the side and appear near life-like in their three
dimensional nature.
