Flowing gold bracelets made of ornamental links enjoyed great popularity at the turn of the century before last. Like many other innovations in the field of jewellery, they satisfied the need for softer and more supple shapes, after the jewellery of the previous generation, which was often perceived as too rigid and bulky. In December 1897, one could read in the influential magazine Der Bazar: "How invigorating, for example, genuine, artistically executed gold jewelry is for the toilet! For bracelets, the chain form is accepted on average; solid hoops are only rarely made." The present bracelet is a typical representative of this type of jewelry and appears as an even repeat of elongated decorative links with curved edges. At its center, the bracelet presents a large transverse oval decorative link. Its elegant break reveals the influence of the graphic Art Nouveau style, which began to replace the earlier floral playfulness of the style in the early years of the 20th century. As a highlight, the design presents a sparkling gemstone setting in the center with a beautiful old-cut diamond and two square Burma rubies as well as ten sparkling diamond roses. The bracelet is in very good condition and came to us from Hamburg. Thanks to its safety chain on the clasp, it can be worn carefree. Quote from Der Bazar. Illustrated ladies' magazine. 43rd vol. no. 47 (December 13, 1897)
