This is a gorgeous sterling silver and topaz bracelet by Borje Rajalin, Finland, c. 1961. Rajalin studied at the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki. He owned his own design studio from 1956 and designed for Kalevala Koru. He won a gold medal at the 1960 Milan Triennial and is known for simple designs that accentuate the semiprecious stones he used. This bracelet is beautifully crafted and can be worn clasped or unclasped. It has an inside circumference of 6" with clasped and 6 5/8" when unclasped - although it could, of course, be enlarged. It is set with a gem quality faceted topaz the color of champagne with an estimated weight of about 25 carats. The bracelet bears marks for 935 silver (higher than sterling), Helsinki, 1961 and maker's mark "BR". It is in really excellent condition. See my other items for the matching necklace and earrings.
