Elegant Diamond Bracelet in White Gold and Platinum, c. 1930

While necklaces and brooches dominated women’s jewelry in the 19th century, wide bracelets gained prominence after World War I. The generally shorter sleeves of evening wear and the many straight-cut, sleeveless dresses made the wrist a favored spot for jewelry. Wide, flexible bracelets made of platinum and diamonds were now, according to contemporary fashion magazines, the “fashion-forward piece of jewellery of the decade.” This exquisite piece also dates from this period and beautifully exemplifies the artisanal perfection and elegance of Art Deco. The bracelet is crafted from high-karat white gold and finished with a layer of light-colored platinum. The design features a uniform pattern of oval decorative links, arranged alternately in open and closed forms. Seven old-cut diamonds adorn the centers of the closed links, while a total of 224 diamond roses make every other part of the bracelet sparkle. Together with the glittering gemstones, delicate saw-tooth detailing and sparkling milgrains dissolve the form into a shimmering play of white light reflections. This gives the piece of jewellery the typical, ethereal aura of jewellery from that era. The bracelet came to us from Cologne and is in very good condition. It is accompanied by an independent appraisal that confirms the quality of the materials used.
