Featured Old Jewelry Help - Purple Glass? Origin? Dating?

Good morning. I hope you can help with this bracelet. I think it has purple glass "stones." The filigree work is fragile and has a small break. I think it was passed down in the family and may have a European origin. Looks like the round latch has been replaced. Thanks for your thoughts on this. Patd

 

Brass & glass, maybe Czech? Very pretty & yes, clasp is a replacement. Decoration looks sort of transitional art nouveau - art deco.

 

Love the color.

 

Czech/Bohemian between the wars art glass set in brass filigree. Very typical of its type and time. Get a Sunshine cloth on the metal gently, it will come up well. Probably had a hook clasp.

 

very elegant ....!

 

Nice piece! I was going to say Czech too, with a replacement clasp. Those often went astray or broke, so it's no surprise.

 

Thank you all for your help. My sunshine clothe will be busy. To give you some background, my great grandfather escaped political pogroms in Hungary in the late 1800s after escaping previous ones in parts of Germany. Supposedly everyone in his family donated something for him to take with him, to sell in the US and raise money to start a business. In fact, on reaching the port of Baltimore, he did exactly that. He started a store in Hagerstown, MD, married a local woman who was very involved in the business, too. This is where I think this bracelet came from. I don't know for sure but 'think' this may have been the origins of the bracelet.

I believe my grandfather's family also first settled in Baltimore.
They left Romania to escape persecution.

Thanks for sharing your story. Did you ever see the movie Avalon? It might be of interest to you.

 

Thanks Pearls. I'll have to look for the movie.
