Jewelry in elegant, cool and luxurious white - that has been the dream of jewelry designers since the late 19th century. However, technical possibilities put a stop to this dream for some time. Diamonds were available, but the tricky part was finding the right metal. At first, only silver was available to create white jewellery, but the metal tarnishes and can leave discoloration on skin and clothes, and white gold had not yet been invented. From around 1900 onwards, platinum was increasingly used, but it was difficult to work with and the metal was much more expensive than gold. For this reason, platinum was usually only used on the front of the pieces. Designs made entirely of platinum remained rare - only a few customers wanted to afford this luxury. The bracelet presented here is all the more unusual because it is made entirely of platinum! The design combines airy elements to form an infinite row on the wrist. Diamonds in old cuts are set close together. One element bears a small blossom in the middle of a curved bow. On the other elements, two floral shapes frame a straight strip of sparkling diamonds. Everything shines white and bright, everything is clearly and finely designed and executed. The hallmarks on the bracelet prove that the softly falling band was made in France. The clasp was recently renewed in white gold in Paris. It can therefore be worn with confidence and pleasure.
