Bracelets made of platinum, set with radiant white diamonds, were the great passion of the ladies' world in the 1920s and 1930s. Every lady who was self-respecting and could afford it wore such treasures - often not just individually, but several of them, combined into a radiant arrangement of pure luxury on the wrist. This is how we know the Hollywood stars of those years in old black-and-white photographs that still shape our idea of the self-determined woman of those years today. The bracelet here is made entirely of platinum and features 127 sparkling diamonds in historic cuts in its geometric design. The sparkling stones, weighing a total of 6.21 carats, occupy 21 links staggered in size. Each element presents a larger diamond in the old brilliant cut at its center. Four elements sweeping out from the sides toward the center frame the center stone and are also adorned with diamonds. The design has no direct show side, but is equally beautiful all around. This is practical, as it allows the bracelet, which flows smoothly around the wrist, to turn at will on the arm, looking wonderful from every angle. Delicate shadow gaps, tiny milgrains that effectively break down the fine ridges of the platinum into thousands of tiny reflective surfaces, and the precision with which the sides are engraved with small laurel leaves show the mastery of the goldsmith who executed them. The bracelet came to us in Zurich and is in perfect condition. An independent certificate from Idar Oberstein will be delivered with the bracelet.

With the invention of gaslight and then electric light at the end of the 19th century, glistening brightness suddenly filled the ballrooms of Europe. No longer dark, yellow candlelight, but the white glow of hundreds of lamps made the ladies' jewellery shine and glitter as never before. No wonder that as a result of these developments, a new fashion also emerged: white jewels made of diamonds and silver responded to the new lighting conditions and replaced the previous more colourful designs. In general, jewellery was increasingly richly set with sparkling gems to create an ever more luxurious and rich appearance. At the great balls in Paris, London and St. Petersburg, ever more magnificent diamond necklaces were presented, as well as tiaras, brooches and rings, all dreams in white diamonds. The name of the era, the Belle Époque, still indicates the goal of the period: To shine in beauty. But the fashion for white jewellery also remained current in the following decades, right up to the Art Déco of the 1920s. Only the materials of the settings changed. The rapidly tarnishing silver was first replaced by platinum settings and later by jewellery made entirely of platinum or the white gold developed shortly before the world war.
