Art Deco diamond blue sapphire articulated bracelet

This 18K yellow gold Art Deco bracelet from 1920 centres in its widest section an old mine brilliant cut diamond from which eight old mine brilliant cut diamonds on each side degrade up to the articulating links. 63 sapphires fringe that starring diamond and its diamond descendants in their platinum setting. With the engraved embellishments on the rim, this remarkable jewel has in the same time a romantic aura and contemporary appearance.

From October 21st, 2013 till December 9th, 2013, this jewel was exhibited at the Art Deco exhibition organised by the Antwerp Diamond Museum in their Diamond Pavilion at the MAS. The MAS is an abbreviation for Museum aan de Stroom which translates to something like "Museum to the Flow". A new landmark building in Antwerp, a must-see when you are in Antwerp, city of diamonds!
