Bracelet, gilded bronze 242993Heart-Shaped Plaque 7th-9th century China (Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Central Asia) The nomadic communities of Central Asia used such plaques to embellish clothing and horse trappings. As these nomadic cultures herded animals and were constantly moving, their artistic production was expressed in portable objects that marked the wearers status and wealth. The outstanding preservation of these fragile ornaments suggests they were used in conjunction with burials, where the body was aggrandized with valuable textiles and augmented with gold. Although it is difficult to date and place these objects geographically, their presence in Central Asia and has a long, established history..

The hinge is in the form of a Herakles knot, in the center of which is a carved intaglio. This knot was a popular design in Greek, Egyptian, and Roman jewelry. Formed of two intertwined ropes, it sometimes had marital significance (tying the knot) or was used as a protective amulet to ward off evil. The symbol later became purely decorative. Such bracelets were worn by women in the upper classes of Roman society and can be seen in images of women in sculpture, painting, and mosaic (some examples are on view) as indications of their elevated socialstatus. , Excavated in Dura-Europos, Syria, Syrian,Dura-Europos, Greco-Roman orParthian, JewelryRing with Braided Wire Hoop and Circular Bezel Second half of the 8th-second half of the 10th century Indonesia (Java).

(American, New York, 1892-1942). Date: 1891-1902."Although diamond jewelry was especially revered, late nineteenth-century Americans became increasingly interested in colored stones, both precious and semiprecious. The publication in 1890 of George Kunz's "Gems and Precious Stones of North America" heightened interest in such native American gems as tourmaline, opal, moonstone, and turquoise. By mounting an oval cabochon turquoise in a cage of yellow gold, Marcus & Company transformed a gemstone mined in Arizona into an imitation scarab, set with fiery demantoid garnet eyes. A gold loop at one end enabled the stone to be worn as a pendant."1Prior to establishing Marcus & Co with his sons in 1892, German immigrant Herman Marcus (1828 - 1899) was employed by the prestigious New York City firms Tiffany & Co. and Black, Starr & Frost, and for a time partnered with the jeweler Theodore B.
