What an incredible find! Not only is this one of David Andersen's most iconic bracelet and necklace designs, the maker's mark dates it between 1888-1925. This could have actually been made by David Andersen himself before he died in 1901.

Additionally to find a set in such impeccable condition from this era is such a rare treat. I'm also inclined to believe this may have been a special commission or made for someone of significance, due to the fact that it was made in 925 sterling silver, and not 830 silver that was more prevalent during that time period. 

All of the enamel is fully intact, crisp and bright with no damage of any kind. There is only minor wear to gilding on the back of each piece. The hidden box clasps work perfectly. It's mind blowing to know that this set is somewhere between 100 to 136 years old! It has obviously been properly stored and preserved meticulously by the estate owner it was purchased from. A superb museum quality demi parure set worthy of the finest rare jewelry collections.
