Cool, elegant, a little otherworldly—early 20th-century jewellery was characterized by a level of craftsmanship never before seen. The introduction of the precious metal platinum—which was initially applied only in thin layers over gold—allowed for exceptionally meticulous details and a brilliant white appearance. This bracelet, too, exudes a distinctly delicate elegance. It widens in the center and features five old-cut diamonds that together weigh about half a carat. The hand-cut stones are set in hexagonal settings, which are set apart from the rest of the band by surrounding shadow gaps and make the gemstones appear larger. Intermediate links featuring small diamond roses are placed between the larger stones, which follow the curve of the wrist on flexible links. A narrow band extends to the left and right of the centerpiece. While the diamond settings are made of light-coloured platinum, the base and the band were originally crafted from gold. The piece of jewellery was rhodium-plated at a later date, giving it a uniform white appearance. With its simple and clean design, the bracelet is timeless—only the details of its craftsmanship, the diamond cuts, and the combination of materials reveal its origins in the early 20th century. With its delicate yet linear design, it stands at the threshold between the ethereal elegance of the Belle Époque and the clean geometry of Art Deco.
