Authentic Kalo Shop Hand Wrought Sterling Silver Necklace Bracelet Suite Chicago Arts & Crafts Jewelry American Modernist Handcrafted Set
Authentic Kalo Shop Chicago hand wrought sterling silver necklace and bracelet suite featuring sculptural Arts & Crafts openwork links, hand-planished finish, raised bead details and original safety chain.
$1395.95
An exceptional matching suite from the renowned Kalo Shop of Chicago, this authentic hand wrought sterling silver necklace and bracelet beautifully represent the highest ideals of the American Arts & Crafts movement, where superior craftsmanship, honest materials, and timeless design were valued above mass production. Handmade one link at a time by one of America's most respected silver workshops, each sculptural sterling panel features elegant hand-forged spiral scrollwork surrounding a raised sterling bead, while softly hand-planished surfaces catch the light with remarkable depth and character. The graceful architectural design is unmistakably Kalo and reflects the workshop's enduring reputation for producing some of the finest handcrafted American silver of the early twentieth century.
Unlike flatter commercial jewelry of the period, every sterling link is gently arched, creating dimensional movement that allows both pieces to drape naturally while emphasizing the sculptural quality of the design. The necklace forms an elegant close-fitting collar measuring approximately 14½ inches to the inside center link, while the matching bracelet measures approximately 8 inches on the interior. The bracelet retains its original hidden sterling box clasp together with its factory safety chain, preserving the uninterrupted flow of the design while providing secure wear. Both pieces are clearly marked "Hand Wrought Sterling Kalo," confirming manufacture by the celebrated Chicago workshop whose handcrafted jewelry remains among the most sought-after expressions of American Arts & Crafts silver.
The original unpolished patina has been intentionally preserved, allowing the hand-worked planishing, raised bead decoration, sculptural contours, and recessed scrollwork to display the depth and contrast collectors prize. Aside from light age-appropriate surface wear consistent with careful ownership, the suite remains in outstanding vintage condition.
Complete matching Kalo Shop necklace and bracelet suites are encountered far less frequently than individual examples, making this an exceptional acquisition for collectors of Kalo Shop silver, Chicago Arts & Crafts jewelry, American studio silver, hand wrought sterling, museum-quality decorative arts, early twentieth-century design, and investment-quality American craftsmanship.
