ABOUT THIS BRACELET

We all treasure that piece of jewelry that is a standout among our collection; this delicate and distinctive bracelet, dating back to the first or second decade of the twentieth century, is such a piece. A mix of luminous baroque, button and doughnut pearls are artistically joined together, creating a lovely lattice-like pattern centered by an ornamental plaque. Exquisite in design, the centerpiece is framed by gleaming calibre onyx, while masterfully executed piercing work concurrently creates both an artful negative space and a glittering diamond-studded design. And it doesn't stop there; the clasp is embellished with a diamond-set navette shape accented with onyx. Enchanting. Total diamond weight, .95 carat. By way of France, according to the hallmarks. Hand fabricated in platinum and 18K white gold, it measures 7 3/8 inches.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
