This remarkable bracelet is a powerful example of Seidengang at its most expressive. Formed from wide, articulated panels of richly colored 18K green gold, the bracelet's mold was entirely hand-carved, maintaining seamless pairing of the design through each panel with a continuous narrative of birds in flight and repose, interspersed with architectural and natural motifs in the backdrop. Each bird is brought to life through deep relief carving on the gold and textural contrast, with vivid ruby eyes and discreetly set diamonds that catch the light without interrupting the sculptural flow.
Seidengang was an American studio jewelry house active primarily in New York during the 1970s and 1980s, celebrated for bold scale, mythic imagery, and exceptional hand craftsmanship. Their work stands firmly within the American modernist and studio jewelry movement, favoring wearable sculpture over conventional fine jewelry design. Large, labor-intensive gold pieces such as this were produced in limited numbers and were never meant to be subtle—they were statements of individuality and connoisseurship.
A signature of Seidengang’s work is the use of green gold, an 18K alloy enriched with silver to produce a softer, moss-toned hue compared to traditional yellow gold. This alloy not only enhances sculptural depth and shadow within carved surfaces, but also connects historically to ancient and classical gold traditions, where similar alloys were prized for their organic warmth. In this bracelet, the green gold lends an almost archaeological presence, amplifying the hand-wrought character and narrative quality of the design.
A museum-worthy studio jewel with substantial gold weight, exceptional artistry, and unmistakable presence. A standout piece for the serious collector of American modernist and sculptural fine jewelry.
