This bracelet is simple and lovely.
This little beauty was made by Oscar Heyman and Brothers in 1935, making it later Art Deco. It’s set with single-, circular- , triangular and baguette diamonds, highlighted at the center with a step-cut diamond within calibré-cut emeralds, cabochon ruby and carved emerald leaves.There are grander, more eye-catching bracelets out there, but this one is just so pretty I can’t help loving it wholeheartedly. In a world where my bank account was no object, I would collect Art Deco bracelets like this and wear stacks of them at a time. Or just sit around in my jewelry closet (because I would have a jewelry closet) and admire them.
This bracelet was listed in Sotheby’s November 2012 Magnificent Jewels sale. All images and info are thanks to Sotheby’s.
See? So pretty, and with all of the geometric fabulousness you’d expect from a 1930’s Art Deco engagement ring.
The ring is platinum with a half-carat European-cut diamond sparkling in the center. It’s also beautifully detailed. You know how I swoon for an embellished shoulder.
I love that Lang Antiques has started providing pictures of their rings on actual hands. It makes it so much easier for me to imagine it on my hand.
