Vintage Sterling Silver Tennis Bracelet, Round Brilliant CZ Channel Set, Square Frame Links, Hidden Box Clasp, 925 Silver, Art Deco Revival, c.1980s-1990s
Description
Every stone in line. Not one out of place.
The tennis bracelet is one of those designs that arrived fully formed and has not needed to change since. A continuous line of brilliant-cut stones, channel-set in white metal, close enough together that the bracelet reads as solid light from across a room. The format works because it is uncompromising: there is nothing else happening, no decorative flourish, no asymmetry, no colour, just the stones and the metal and the line.
This bracelet does it correctly. The stones are round brilliant-cut cubic zirconia of high grade, their dispersion strong and their faceting clean, each one channel-set in a square frame link with smooth bar settings flanking each stone rather than the prong baskets that snag on fabric. The square frame construction is the structural signature of the better vintage tennis bracelet: more material, more considered, more weight in the hand. The reverse of each link shows the open-backed square lattice that allows light through and gives the bracelet its characteristic fluid articulation. The metal is sterling silver throughout, stamped 925 on the clasp interior.
The clasp is a hidden box clasp with a textured diamond-grid push tab and integrated side safety clip, a well-engineered closure for a bracelet that is meant to be worn and not lost.
