Meridian Zenith Appraisal

Brighton Meridian Zenith Crystal Necklace and Bracelet Set

This set consists of a necklace and a matching bracelet, characteristic of the 'Meridian Zenith' collection by the iconic American brand Brighton. Both pieces feature a silver-tone finish over a zinc alloy base, often referred to as 'Brighton Silver,' which is treated with a protective lacquer to prevent tarnishing. The pendant and bracelet links showcase an intricate, openwork scrollwork design in a neo-Victorian or Byzantine-inspired style, accented with faceted clear Swarovski crystals. The pendant is suspended from a double-strand wheat or 'spiga' chain, while the bracelet features a triple-strand chain leading to a large central floral or sunburst motif. A hallmark of this brand is the small silver heart charm attached to the lobster claw clasp on the bracelet, visible in the image. The condition appears to be very good with minimal visible oxidation; the stones maintain their clarity and the metal show light surface patina typical of gentle use. This contemporary collection mimics antique silver craftsmanship, utilizing high-quality cast metalwork and hand-set crystals.
