18 Karat Gold, Mammoth Tusk and Moonstone Bracelet and Earclips, Seaman Schepps

The bracelet composed of interlocking links composed of carved mammoth tusk, alternating with links set with cabochon moonstones, length 8¼ inches, maker's mark for Seaman Schepps, numbered 21570; the earclips of similar design set with cabochon moonstones and carved mammoth tusk segments, maker's marks for Seaman Schepps, numbered 21569.

All pieces in good general condition. The peach-colored moonstones present an attractive whitish adularescence and are less orange than seen in the printed catalogue. Some soiling to the back of the bracelet's mammoth tusk links that would benefit from a cleaning. One cabochon moonstone on the earclips is chipped, but this would not be apparent when worn.
