Description

In the years of the penultimate turn of the century, bracelets were particularly popular. No lady left home without these pieces of jewelry and often up to four of them were worn on each wrist. The present specimen also comes from this era. The piece of jewelry is designed as a band of gold design wrapped around the arm. The individual links interlock softly and nestle around the arm, just as if it were actually made of fabric! But in fact, the bracelet is made of high karat gold, sparkling diamonds and three wonderful rubies. The rubies come from Burma. They are untreated stones in an intense red color. Rubies from Burma are the most precious rubies of all due to their outstanding quality. The rubies of all other places of discovery are clouded by a more or less strong blue tinge, which is usually tried to remove by heat treatment. Only the rubies from Burma are pure red, by an accident of nature - as the only stones in the world. In the language of gemstones, which was widely used in the 19th century, the combination of ruby and diamond setting is by no means randomly chosen. Rather, it conveys a romantic message. Thus, the ruby stands for passion and love, while the diamond symbolizes eternity - for a romance that lasts! The bracelet is thus suitable as a particularly precious love gift. Due to its rather short length, it is especially suitable for delicate wrists.
