Art Deco diamond, emerald, onyx, and enamel bracelet by Mauboussin.

This piece was made by Mauboussin in 1925. It has a flexible openwork strap of lattice design, centering a rose set with a round cabochon emerald. The petals of the flower are set with old European-cut diamonds (approx 3.65 carats), buff-top cabochon emeralds, and cabochon onyx segments.

The bracelet is set throughout with old European-cut, round and single-cut diamonds (approximately 10.55 carats) and sugar-loaf cabochon and buff-top cabochon emeralds and onyxes. The bracelet is about 7 inches long, and the clasp is embellished with black enamel.

Now scroll back up and look at it again. (Please note: you only have to do this a few times. I’m not trying to catch you in an infinite bracelet ogling loop.)

Here’s a closer look. So perfect.

*** Fun fact: I got to try this bracelet on in person, completely by coincidence, almost exactly three years later!! See it here.
