This magnificent, fine and impressive antique Art Deco bracelet has been crafted in platinum.
The broad, articulated bracelet is composed of alternating pierced decorated rectangular designs, all in the iconic geometric, Art Deco manner.
The three largest rectangular links each bear a stunning feature collet set marquise cut diamond to the centre, flanked with two further marquise cut diamonds in a horizontal linear formation.
This formation is further flanked with two square cut diamonds and expands to create a marquise shaped setting incorporating six pavé set Old European round cut.
This central design is framed with an angular border incorporating twenty-four pavé set Old European round cut diamonds, and the outer border bears a further thirty diamonds.
The alternating subtly rounded rectangular links are embellished with a vertical central array of three collet set square cut diamonds, flanked to either side with six channel set baguette cut emeralds.
This central linear arrangement is incorporated into a vertical collar design, ornamented with twelve pavé set diamonds.
The curvilinear outer frames are embellished with twenty-four pavé set Old European round cut diamonds, completing the second link design.
Each feature link articulates via a collared connector, each ornamented with eight pavé set Old European round cut diamonds framing three channel set baguette cut diamonds, completing the imposing Art Deco bracelet design.
This broad diamond bracelet secures with a discreet push fit clasp, incorporated into one of the emerald set links and providing a continuation of the Art Deco design.
The finely engineered dual pronged catch benefits from the additional security of two safety clips to the underside; a continued indication of the high quality of the piece.
This magnificent bracelet is hallmarked to the back of the tongue with the platinum mark (10%IRID) and has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as platinum.
This impressive bracelet is supplied with three IDGL diamond grading report certificates for the feature stones, in addition to an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card for the supporting stones.
Such magnificent and original multi-diamond pieces of antique Art Deco jewellery of this high diamond content are rare to the market; this bracelet is the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.
"Rather than regarding inclusions in coloured stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics."
