ABOUT:
The sweetest sparkly vintage old mine and single cut diamond cluster link bracelet - I haven't seen one of these before so I'm excited to offer it! This beautiful diamond eternity bracelet consists of "links" that are each floral shaped diamond daisy clusters, each connected to the next by loops for sparkle all the way around the wrist. The center diamonds are old mine cuts (with a few transitional cuts, not replacements but just how it was made) and the outlining diamonds are old single cuts.
Daisy cluster rings are among my most popular items in the shop and this unique bracelet is an interesting take on that, with 21 floral clusters, seven larger ones including the hidden clasp alternating with pairs of smaller clusters.
So fun to wear with impactful sparkle from the over 3 carats of diamonds in the sweetest setting with the dainty daisy cluster links. Found in France, I'm not sure how old this one is. For sure vintage but could be older antique / Art Deco period with the old cut stones.
It's a special one with a nice carat weight but still a dainty feel on the wrist with the gorgeous floral clusters. This is one I'll happily enjoy wearing until it sells.
The tongue insert of the clasp is stamped with the French mark for 18k gold and 750, the numerical hallmark used in Europe for 18k gold. The hallmarks appear later than the piece, as is required by law for second hand jewelry.
Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
Stretched end to end it is about 7 1/8" in length, not including the little tongue insert of the clasp that nests into the catch. I have a 5 1/2" wrist and I can wear it well without it sliding off my hand, but it can fit a larger wrist than mine as well. Theoretically it could be altered with links removed or gold loops added by your local jeweler but with some skill of course as the loops are currently welded smooth.
The larger clusters are 6.3mm in diameter not including the loops, each have a 2.7mm diamond at the center with five smaller 1.3mm diamonds on the petals. The smaller clusters are 5mm in diameter and have a 1.7mm center with seven 1.3mm diamonds on the petals.
Exact depths of each vary and I would not remove them but estimates to over 3 carats total weight in diamonds.
It weighs 8.5 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
It functions well, clicks into place, the push button loosens it and the side safety latch also clips securely to the little rivet on the other side. So it wears very securely.
Typical antique diamonds with some have natural inclusions, some of them appearing quite frosty overall but they are small so this is not glaring. Just relaying what I see under magnification. No carbon spots and I don't see any chips or damage. Slightly varying warmth with the old cuts reflecting the light differently.
No real damage to report, it doesn't feel overly fragile and the links and clasp are in good condition. I noticed the loops can get hung up on eachother a bit while handling but once worn, it lays perfectly.
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
