Ideal Art Deco Bracelet with Oriental Pearl and Diamonds in Platinum, c. 1930

This bracelet is a showpiece of Art Deco: it gleams in an ethereal white, cool and elegant, and possesses all the characteristics that a piece of jewellery from that era can offer. The band is designed as a narrow link bracelet that features a tiered centerpiece. In four stages, the design widens from the sides toward the center: at first, only small diamonds are set; then the diamonds grow larger, and saw-toothed shadow gaps are introduced. Two large old-cut diamonds, set in wonderfully delicate platinum bezels, occupy the penultimate sections, until finally a perfect Oriental pearl is set in the center. Platinum covers the surface of the centerpiece, while the band itself is crafted from white gold. The diamonds sparkle white, while the pearl shimmers white-gray. It is a harmony of white tones, a melodious blend of subtle differences in luster, brightness, and hue. Finely tuned with exquisite taste. The high-quality craftsmanship extends down to the smallest detail: even when viewed from the side, the bracelet is engraved, offering a luxurious sight. The clasp is also elegantly designed; it matches the style of the other connecting links and thus remains visually unobtrusive when the bracelet rotates on the wrist. A wonderful, timeless piece of jewellery accompanied by an independent appraisal of the materials. Among other things, it has confirmed that this is a natural pearl.
