#935 - 18K Gold Diamond Portrait Bracelet
A stunning antique bracelet, done in unmarked, but tested 18K yellow gold and handcrafted with bezel mounted plaques depicting gorgeously wrought profiles of Art Nouveau ladies. The top has the added touch of two natural rubies and two natural diamonds set into the gold links, each about .05 points. Measuring 8 ¼" x ½", it weighs 14 dwt (21.7 grams) and is finished with a foldover clasp and safety chain. We are having a bit of trouble definitively dating this one, it could be truly from the Art Nouveau era but could be a bit later as well. Absolutely gorgeous and we have never seen another, perhaps a custom piece. Certified to be as described and to be authentic estate jewelry.
