Riker Brothers' pieces are one of a handful of top American jewelry collectibles in the world. No longer producing, their heyday was during the early 1900s.

Superior aesthetics, meticulous design and craftsmanship, along with all-out beauty, mark them as one of America's best.

Art Nouveau in style and date, this slip-on bangle bracelet of 14k yellow gold is personalized and dated. In fancy engraved script are the words, "Frances Moulton July 21, '09" dating this clearly to 1909.

What is it about clues to a piece's provenance that animate and enliven its appeal? Imagining who possessed this, what historical events it witnessed, and the emotional connections it forged, is just part of its appeal.

All around the entire bracelet are repeating panels of opposing iris flowers in relief. These are punctuated by undulating panels of texture and organic designs to create a tableau of intricate delicacy.

Oval in shape, it stands along in style, or can be stacked.
