Vintage Timothy Shea Sterling Silver Beveled Cuff Bracelet Designer Signed 25g (Apprentice shops to Ed Levin)
This is a beautiful vintage modernist beveled sterling silver cuff bracelet made by local artisan craftsman Timothy Shea, he has retired but went on his own as a designer with his own line in the 1990's but he apprenticed for Ed Levin and therefore you can see many similarities in the style and quality of the jewelry.
It is a well made bracelet in excellent structural condition, sturdy and solid at a weight of 25g. There is some wear from normal use by one previous owner but not much considering its age, overall very good condition. It has a 5.25 inside circumference and a 1.25 gap. The bracelet is 1/4" wide. Because it is such a solid piece there is just a little give to the silver, so I think it will fit a 6 1/4 to 6 1/2 inch wrist best. The piece is signed T.Shea Sterling. He had a following in the 1990's in upstate NY and Vermont and is know for high quality beautiful studio jewelry.
This beautiful, well made bracelet has many years of enjoyment left and if well cared for, could become a family heirloom.
The piece makes a great gift for someone you love, it will last a lifetime with proper care. The bracelet will look great on a man or a women.
One of the best things about PianoBarVintage is you can put my jewelry right on, or give it as a gift, (unlike many vintage pieces) because....... Pieces are cleaned and polished by me in a solution of warm water and dawn shops disinfectant dish soap, and if need be I brush it with a soft toothbrush and polish it until my arm hurts! I know some people like patina and in most cases true patina stays on the piece but the jewelry is clean, free of dirt and oils that build up from wear. Finally the piece is wrapped in a new white tissue paper. (The rest of my packaging supplies may be recycled).
All items unless stated otherwise are previously loved and used therefore they inevitably have superficial scratches and slight imperfections (not brand new). Any imperfection more that I see I note in my description, also refer to pictures for condition.
I check for sales or messages throughout the day. Please check out my Ed Levin collection and other jewelry in my collection.
