Napoleon III Period Sapphire and Diamond Flower Bracelet in 18ct Gold and Sterling Silver
A wonderful Napoleon III Era bracelet of outstanding quality with wonderful rose cut diamonds, and a starring natural sapphire – this bracelet is the definition of French mid 19 century opulence. Still an element of restraint in the careful construction with rose cuts, arranged to delicately fit the diamond channels that create the holders of the bracelet, it typifies French finery from this period. There is even a serial number on the anterior surface of the bracelet, indicating that this is “bijoux de haute game,” or jewelry of the highest quality – which was often serialized so that retailers could always recognize a piece if it were to come back to their atelier- much like the Birkin serial number today.
The diamonds are of an exceptional quality – extremely clean, and fastidiously cut to glimmer by candlelight, or in bright sun, should you choose to enjoy her the modern way— whenever you please!
