Description

In the years around 1900, link bracelets came into fashion. They replaced the stiff bangles that had previously been worn and thus complemented the increasingly soft, flowing dress fashion. This piece also dates from this era. The bracelet is made of yellow gold with a fineness of 14 carats (equivalent to 585/000) and is solidly forged. It is in the form of the classic round tank pattern, a jewelry design that has never gone out of fashion. In the center of the bracelet is a flower-shaped showpiece that lines an untreated ruby from the legendary sites of Burma with old-cut diamonds. The ruby weighs approx. 0.50 ct and the diamonds together weigh approx. 0.76 ct. Gemstones were often associated with rich symbolism in the 19th century. The ruby, for example, was regarded as a stone of passionate love: "Ruby is passion", wrote the British painter Edward Burne-Jones to his close friend Frances Graham. And the German ladies' journal Bazar also stated in November 1886: "It is generally regarded as the symbol of the most passionate and ardent love". In the language of gemstones, which was widely used in the 19th century, the setting of the bracelet is therefore by no means coincidental but conveys a romantic message. The ruby stands for passion and love, while diamonds, as the hardest natural gemstones, symbolize eternity. With its romantic symbolism, this very well-preserved bracelet is therefore particularly suitable as a gift of love and also looks stunning on the wrist! We discovered this fine piece of jewelry in the Rhineland and were immediately impressed by the quality of the workmanship and the quality of the gemstones. An expert opinion on the origin of the ruby from the German Gemstone Research Foundation (Burma, no heat) and a valuation report from the German Gemstone Valuation Society are included.
