Van Cleef & Arpels Diamond Emerald Platinum Bracelet

An art deco platinum bracelet, set with five emerald-cut emeralds and brilliant-cut diamonds, signed Van Cleef & Arpels, French. Approx. 7.5″ long. This vintage Van Cleef & Arpels Emerald Diamond Bracelet Platinum bracelet features a precise layout of diamonds and emeralds in soft geometric forms reminiscent of Art Deco. The “Art Deco” name derived from the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris. That is to say it is quite fitting that a leading haute jewelry Maison in France be a leader in mirroring the style of the times. Van Cleef & Arpels created some of the most iconic Art Deco jewelry pieces that continue to be coveted by auction houses and collectors alike. Subsequently, the 1930’s evolved the Deco style where geometric designs were starting to shift – from sharp geometric shapes to softer graphic forms. This Van Cleef & Arpels Emerald Diamond Bracelet Platinum further reflects that development in style. The rectangular and square gems are natural green beryls of Colombian origin. In addition, five emeralds weigh between 1.22 to 1.86 cts each; 7.70 carats total. Weight of natural diamonds is approx. 20.00 cts total. Measures approx. 7.5″ long and 3/4″ wide; circa 1930’s. Signed Van Cleef & Arpel. AGL Certificate for Emeralds included.
