Description:
Arts & Crafts Silver, Gold and Garnet Bracelet, Edward Everett Oakes, c. 1925, each silver geometric plaque channel-set with step-cut garnets among gold leaf, bud, and scrolling vine motifs, lg. 7 1/4 in., signed OAKES within a leaf.
Note: The design of this bracelet relates to the Oakes gem-set box in the permanent collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This type of work appears to have been more than usually demanding in terms of time and meticulousness, as the box took Oakes nine years to complete.
