What a great find This is a modernist/brutalist silver bangle.
What a great find! This is a modernist/brutalist silver bangle bracelet by Brian Bergner. Love the chunky form and loosely rendered 3-dimensional surface design of this piece! Per research Bergner is a well known Israeli jewelry designer. His signature style is the use of electro-form process which allows to create well-defined three-dimensional relief designs.
The bracelet is marked BRIAN, 925. It is quite substantial measuring about 3/4” in width and 8 1/4” in circumference (inside). The bracelet weighs slightly over 30 grams. It feels like the silver sheeting is applied on top of another material, thus, likely not all of this wight is silver. The piece is in good, but not perfect vintage condition. Structurally there are no significant issues to report, but a number of small nicks, dings and scratches can be seen on the surface. The surface shows a lot of patina, which I popular prefer. I slightly cleaned/polished the relief on the bracelet as well as the interior, to show off the texture of these surfaces. Please look carefully at the images as some of the imperfections mentioned above have been captured in the photos.
