Early 20th Century 18ct Gold, Fire Opal & Diamond Bracelet

752X
40 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

Fire opals are amazing stones and are found in Mexico. The Mayas and Aztecs loved this gemstone and used it in mosaics and for ritualistic purposes. They called it “quetzalitzlipyollitli”, the “The bird of paradise stone”. The stone knowledge of Mexico’s natives, which had been handed down for generations sank into oblivion for a long time until in the early 1800s, the fiery treasures hidden in the Mexican highlands were remembered, and mining gradually started again.

This 18ct gold articulated bracelet dates from around 1920 and has been set with ten well matched round faceted fire opals with small diamonds in between. It has a secure hidden tongue clasp.
