Circa 1910, 14k, by Marcus & Co., American. This antique equestrian motif bracelet is the perfect casual chic accessory. Its focal point is an expertly crafted, hand-painted Essex crystal of a beautiful red fox. To either side, riders in the hunt field are masterfully pictured, a lady clearing a hedge sidesaddle, and a gentleman galloping. Two more running fox crystals complete the narrative. Beautifully made by the renowned New York jewelry firm Marcus and Co., this bracelet is town and country style at its fashionably horsey best.

An Essex Crystal is a cabochon crystal carved with an intaglio image into the reverse which is then hand-painted in minute, realistic detail. The depth of the carving is what creates the charming "trompe l'oeil" effect.
