Vintage Motif: Open-Link Bracelets

openlink

Whether its diamonds, jade, sapphires or rubies, the Art Deco Era used a variety of gemstones to create beautiful bracelets. The open-link motif was popular during the 1920s; above the girl is wearing three stacked on one arm, with another on the other. Open-link bracelets are timeless and are still popular today in modern jewelry. Below are some of my favorite open-links bracelets, all antique:
