A stunning matched antique filigree set from the 1930s, attributed to Czech production of the interwar era. Both the bracelet and brooch feature ornate gilt brass filigree, prong-set sapphire blue glass center stones, and hand-cut paste accents that catch the light with brilliance. Pieces of this scale and original condition are increasingly rare to find as a complete set.
True to Czech workmanship of the period, the bracelet retains its original engraved box clasp and the brooch its locking pin-back. The construction, metalwork, and stone combinations are consistent with documented Gablonz export jewelry of the 1920s–30s.

Collector's Note
Czech filigree jewelry from the 1930s is prized for its lavish metalwork and gemstone color palettes. This set checks every box: original glass stones, ornate layered filigree, period findings, and matched bracelet + brooch construction. The presence of the engraved Czech clasp and paste work further reinforces attribution. Sets like this were exported to fine boutiques in Paris, London, and New York — today they are highly sought after by collectors of pre-war European jewelry.
