Art Deco Platinum Diamond & 2.0ct Sapphire Bracelet, 5ct Diamonds, 1930s

Fifty-eight diamonds run the length of this Art Deco bracelet, old European and single cuts totaling five carats set into geometric platinum links that catch light continuously across the wrist. Seventy French-cut sapphires, two carats total, weave through the design in curved channels; a deliberate contrast to the diamonds' straight-edged settings, giving the piece a sense of movement despite its rigid, architectural framework. The platinum links are individually hand-engraved, a level of finishing typical of 1930s bench work that rewards close inspection as much as distance. At half an inch wide and seven inches long, the bracelet sits substantially on the wrist without excess bulk, striking the balance between statement piece and everyday wearability that defines the best Art Deco line bracelets. Condition is excellent for its age: the platinum retains a bright, well-kept finish, and all diamonds and sapphires are secure with no visible losses. The diamonds have a combined weight of approximately 5.0 carats, while the accent sapphires total approximately 2.0 carats.
