Featured Lovely Sterling Bracelet with Blue Stones

Surprisingly, I cannot find a maker's mark on this clasp bracelet with fairly dark blue stones. The bracelet is clearly marked 925 but I cannot see anything else. I am seeking guidance from the resident jewelry experts on make, age, stones, value (yeah, yeah I know) etc.

Thanks again!

Love it!

 

Those could be blue tourmaline. There's no age on this; it's pretty recent. Thai, maybe?

 

Thank you!

 

There's an irradiated "London" blue topaz about the same color, but it really does look like indicolite tourmaline from here.

 

Nice bracelet, made in Bali. Can't see the clarity and colour tone of the stones very well, but the Balinese use a lot of topaz, different colours.

 

in the "style" of John Hardy (made in Bali)

 

And John Hardy designs borrow from the centuries old Balinese style, which is mostly borrowed from the East Javanese Majapahit (1293-ca. 1500) style. Bali was a Majapahit colony.
Although those chunky curls seem to be taken from the Jambi (Sumatra) style of jewellery, again based on age old designs.
A lot of Western jewellery designers are based in Bali, cheap labour and good quality silverwork. Another famous name was Sajen, who introduced those Dewi Ratih or Balinese moon goddess faces to the world (I wish they hadn't, I see them everywhere now).

 

Great info Any Jewelry! I have to say I don’t think I have the brain capacity to retain the knowledge you have. Although, my memory is still working and I am learning a lot from your posts. Thank you.

 

Thanks Msalicia. My memory isn't what it used to be, but there is still some info to be found in the nooks and crannies of the old brain.
