In the years around 1900, the sprawlingl forms of Art Nouveau were primarily associated with artistic natures, with the bohemians of the time - in short, those who wore striking Art Nouveau creations tended to like it daring, risqué. Particularly in aristocratic circles and among the wealthy bourgeoisie of the time, fashion developed towards more classic forms instead. They were inspired by the gallant forms that had dominated the reign of French King Louis XVI a century earlier: laurel wreaths, garlands and bow motifs adorned high-quality diamond jewellery - known as high jewellery - for the evening. This bracelet is one such piece of high jewellery, whose three central decorative elements with mirrored leaf motifs in cool white pay homage to the formal world of Louis XVI. However, the use of platinum on gold, which was typical of the early 20th century and allowed jewelry designers to create jewels in radiant white, is very modern here. The platinum layer applied to the high-carat gold makes the approximately one carat of old and rose cut diamonds shine even brighter. The bracelet is in very good condition. As an exemplary representative of the Garland style, it can be excellently combined with many other jewels of the period. For dating, see for example the catalog of the Bansse company from Paris from 1910, which can be viewed online at this point. We also reproduce a page from the catalog, which shows a very similar design in the centerpiece.
