Antique Art Deco Diamond Platinum and 18ct White Gold Bracelet. Original ones in this condition are rarely available. Dates from the late Edwardian period into the Art Deco period. 1910 - 1925 Manufactured in platinum and 18ct white gold; the top of the bracelet is manufactured in platinum whilst the strap is crafted in 18ct white gold. This beautiful bracelet has 9 large old European cut diamonds across the head of the bracelet and 30 old '8' cut poisoned around the larger diamonds; the border of the diamonds is `millgrain set` (From the French word mille for a thousand, and from grain as the same meaning in English, it refers to what appears to be thousands of tiny beads upon a metal precipice or edge). There is also a hand-engraved design on the edges. The unset part of the bracelet is `sprung`, very much like the lady's watch bracelets of the period, holding the bracelet in place on the wrist. They are fine white and clean diamonds, estimated H colour VS clarity - it's truly a lovely antique gem. Presented in excellent condition and has been treasured and shows very few signs of wear. Beautifully manufactured, hand-soldered articulated sections, all in perfect condition. Truly a lovely quality antique bracelet. Such is the quality of manufacture, the hinged sections `disappear` when the links are laid flat, it's a truly wonderfully made bracelet. Very few are left like this in this condition. Largest diamond measures 4.00mm in diameter. Smallest diamond measures 1.5mm in diameter. Total carat weight of at least 2.1 carats Internal dimensions 70.8mm. The top is approximately 11.5mm wide, tapering to 3.6mm. Weight is 12.3g. The bracelet part is stamped '18ct' and top tests platinum.
