Vintage Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Butterscotch Egg Yolk Amber Bracelet Ring Set
This vintage Art Nouveau style jewelry set features butterscotch egg yolk amber cabochons set in solid sterling silver with whiplash tendrils and leaf metalwork. The hinged bangle bracelet measures 1 1/3" wide with a 6.75" inside circumference and is stamped "925" alongside a maker's mark consisting of "LB" inside a diamond. The matching statement ring is a size 7, measuring 1" long by 7/8" wide, and features a raised "925" hallmark on the outer band. Both pieces display natural swirling patterns within the opaque amber stones and rich oxidized silver detailing throughout.
Style & Material History
Opaque yellow Baltic amber, historically called butterscotch or egg yolk amber, has long been prized for its natural color variations and warm glow. Artisans during the Art Nouveau period and subsequent revival eras paired these natural fossilized resin cabochons with fluid, nature-inspired sterling silver designs featuring stylized leaves, vines, and organic asymmetry.
