The Art Deco bracelet here is a particularly precious piece. Because the elegant links made of platinum set with diamonds hold seven large, natural and untreated sapphires. Precious sapphires in the colours of a summer sky. Sapphires come in many natural colours. Many different shades of blue are among them, but also pink colours, orange and yellow and greenish shades. The stones gathered here, all without any disturbing inclusions and clear, present a whole spectrum between light sky blue and deep violet. They are exceptional stones because they are untreated, not heated or otherwise altered in colour by man in any way. The round dance of colour is visually joined by double bands of blue enamel on the smaller links of the band. They are also made of platinum and set with diamonds. Thus, a total of 3.76 ct of diamonds are gathered in the bracelet. Their white luster provides a fitting counterpoint to the blue-violet of the sapphires. Each of the sapphires is cut a little differently. The large stone in the center is antique cut and almost square, other stones are round or very oval. This suggests that they were not cut specifically for the bracelet. In the past, it was not uncommon to cut gemstones from pieces that had become unfashionable in order to turn them into new jewels. Especially in Art Deco jewellery, we often see older stones. For one thing, this style was so fundamentally different and impossible to combine with older pieces. At the same time, the economic possibilities of the era were often limited. So if you reframed the old stones, you combined modern taste with the sentimentality of heirloom pieces. The workmanship, the collection of sapphires and also the design language of the piece prove that the bracelet was made in the years around 1930. We have had an external gemological appraisal done which attests to the material quality of the bracelet.
