An
astonishing original completely hand crafted 18K white gold 1930s line
bracelet set with gorgeous blue sapphires and fine white diamonds. This
sinuous and sexy original Art Deco jewel is amazingly sparkly and
elegant. Each of the links moves beautifully and it drapes beautifully
across the wrist due to the exceptional workmanship and delicate links.
What is astonishing is the immaculate and skilled work to make each and
every link by hand which is very seldom seen. You really can feel the
difference between the hand made luxury jewel this is and a cast
counterpart which may look similar but is much less lithe and sits
awkwardly for this. It is snakelike in how it moves. There are
35 links in this amazing bracelet each set with two diamonds and an
earth mined blue sapphire. The diamond accents are deliberately smaller
than the central sapphire creating more feminine dainty lines quite
deliberately with this choice in design. In total it weighs 13.8 grams. It
is marked 18K for metal fineness and does test the same throughout the
bracelet. The clasp itself is 9K which was done for extra tensile
strength of the lower carat gold which makes the clasp far stronger.
Every detail has been considered when making this luxurious bracelet. To
one side of the hidden safety clasp there is a figure eight security
clasp which snaps tightly shut and there is also a safety chain as
another added precaution to ensure absolutely secure wear. The
inside circumference of this stunning deco jewel is 6 1/8" so this
diamond bracelet will best fit an extra small or small sized wrist of 5
3/4" at the most to ensure the fit is comfortable. It sits 5/16" wide on
the wrist (8mm). This beautiful bracelet has been stored
carefully and is in gorgeous condition. There are no flaws whatsoever I
could fine to mention about this sparkling bangle. A full list of the exceptional earth mined natural precious gemstones in this piece are as follows:
*70
1.1mm diameter F color VS/SI clarity 0.75 point claw set round
brilliant cut diamonds these are perfectly matched for color throughout
*35 3.8mm round brilliant cut blue sapphires each weighing
approximately 30 points with an excellent color match across the entire
bracelet. In total this makes the weight of the vivid blue sapphires 10.5 carats. The total fine exceptional white diamond weight is 0.525 carats. This makes the sapphire and diamond weight together 11.025 carats. To
make a bracelet like this can take a jeweler several years after an
order or commission has been received - this time delay to complete a
piece like this one is due to the difficulty in obtaining so many
precious gems which must be matched for clarity, color, size and cut. The contrast between the vivid saturated blue sapphires and the exceptional white of the diamonds is absolutely beautiful. I
love how versatile this piece is - it is an everyday piece of pure
luxury. It can be worn all the time anywhere- casually, to work, to a
black tie event. It doesn't ever need to be taken off one's person and
can be enjoyed all the time. The sinuous hand made links, low profile
design and exceptional hardness of the precious gems make it practical
to wear this piece all the time if you so choose. An appraisal
shall accompany this item. This appraisal has been made by a
professional Gemologist and accredited Jewelry Appraiser who is a
specialist in the field. It will be sent in a presentation box.
