Delicate, chic and chock-full of delightful deco personality!
This exquisite piece was designed and created by American jewelry company, Esemco. Based in Newark, NJ, Esemco specialized in producing high-quality jewelry for the middle class and were known for their intricate details and excellent craftsmanship.
Crafted in brilliant 10k yellow gold, this dainty bracelet features a beautiful Art Deco cutout design accented with demure floral detailing. An eye-catching cultured ruby takes center stage adding just the right amount of color and pizazz.
Cultured rubies have been around since 1902 and are a type of synthetic ruby created through an artificial process. They have the same chemical structure and beauty as an actual ruby but cost a fraction of the price. Cultured rubies were quite popular and heavily used in jewelry during the first half of the 20th century.
Bracelet fastens securely with a highly decorated fold over clasp.
