French Belle Époque Citrine & Diamond Bangle in 18ct Gold and Platinum, Circa 1890
Rich materials and remarkable on the wrist – this large scale, very weighty bangle is a beautiful example of French craftspersonship from the final decade of the 19th century. Every diamond is perfectly matched to her sister on the other shoulder, the central citrine glows by candle or by sun, trapping beams of light that pool in her golden belly (which is upheld by her generous 18ct cup setting.) Feast your eyes on the sparkling transition from warm tone yellow gold to icy platinum on the shoulders to experience the highest quality of French work from the belle epoque.
