Vintage Sterling Silver Sky Blue Topaz Tennis Bracelet, Oval Faceted Gemstones, Open Claw Collets, Lobster Clasp, 8 Inch Length, 925 Silver, c.1980s-1990s
Description
Icy blue, stone after stone, for eight full inches.
Blue topaz in sterling silver is a combination that the 1980s and 1990s understood instinctively. The cool silvery cast of Sky Blue Topaz against white metal is one of those pairings that does not require explanation: it simply works, the stone's frosty transparency amplified by the brightness of the silver around it. What is less common is finding it executed at length. Standard vintage gemstone tennis bracelets run short, often seven inches, sometimes less, the stones themselves taking up space that leaves the wrist feeling constrained. This bracelet runs to eight inches, a full inch longer than the vintage standard, which across a continuous line of oval topaz represents a meaningful difference in both visual presence and wearability.
The stones are oval-cut Sky Blue Topaz, faceted with clean lines, their colour a consistent icy blue-white with the cool silvery cast characteristic of the Sky Blue grade rather than the deeper Swiss or London tones. Approximately 5x3mm each, the full strand carries an estimated 12 to 15 carats of total gem weight. Each stone sits in a four-claw open-back collet, the back of each setting fully open to allow light through the stone, the construction clean and well-made throughout. The metal is sterling silver, stamped 925. The clasp is a lobster claw, practical and secure.
