Description
We are offering some beautiful high-end bracelets this week (including this one), from an upstate NY estate parcel--if you like the really nice stuff, please check my listings.  THE PHOTOS DO NOT DO THIS BRACELET JUSTICE--YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
This stunning Edwardian 14k rose gold bangle bracelet, circa 1900, is a work of art.  It features a magnificent array of chunky old mine cut diamonds of varying sizes, with high tables and open culets.  We measured them as best we could using digital gauges for diameter and depth, and a millimeters to carats conversion calculator.  The largest diamond is approximately .45 ct, and the smallest at about .05 ct.  Total diamond weight is estimated at approximately 3.28 ctw.  The diamonds are bright and fiery, graded as G/H/I in color and SI1 to I1 in clarity, by our experienced estate jeweler.  A few of the diamonds are slightly chipped but they are not noticeable without close examination with a loupe, and in no way detract from the bracelet's beauty.
The centerpiece of this bracelet is a bezel-set 7.25 x 6 x 2.6 mm deep cushion cut royal blue natural sapphire (about .90 ct) which adds a regal look, and a beautiful burst of color to the sparkling diamonds.
The intricate workmanship in gold and design must also be appreciated--it is so delicately "woven", with feathering at the top and bottom all the way around, and crisp clear milgrain detail around the diamonds.
The face measures 5/8" wide at the widest point of the front, and tapers gently to 3/16" at the inner part of the wrist.  It is hinged for easy access, closes with a tongue and groove clasp, and has a stationary safety chain for extra security.  The gemstones span about 2 1/2" across the front.  The bracelet has no visible hallmarks but does test positive for 14k gold guaranteed.  It measures 2 1/4" across the inside of the oval, and will fit up to a 7" wrist comfortably.  It weighs 15.3 grams and other than those few chipped diamonds, is in excellent antique condition.
