ABOUT:
Sparkle and color with a great geometric look! This is a beauty to add some variation in a lineup with other bracelets, but also has a lot going for it on its own.
The gems span about 2.5 inches so depending on your wrist size, it can cover the majority of the top of the wrist, with chain links going to the underside so you don't have to worry about wear on the stones.
This vintage piece has a mix of cuts, with transitional and old mine cut diamonds and two older brilliant cuts although there don't appear to be any repairs so it's looking like the jeweler just used a mix depending on what they had available to them. Some of the sapphires are definitely natural, one appearing a wonderful peacock blue under magnification. I can't say definitively that they are all natural while they are set but they are well matching and beautiful in color and all are sapphires with sapphire properties, none are glass or imitation.
Found in Paris with the French hallmarks for 18k gold on the clasp and safety chain. Bright and vibrant with all over sparkle.
Any props or additional items not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
About 7 1/8 inches stretched end to end, a jeweler would be able to adjust this by removing links or an extender could also be used.
Measuring 4.8mm north south and stands 4.2mm tall off the wrist, give or take in the bezel settings.
It weighs 7.2 grams.
The six diamonds are 4.2mm each giver or take. Varying depths and exact carat weight is unknown as I would not remove them but estimates to about 1.68 carat total weight in diamonds, 3.36 carats total weight of all gems together.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Spring ring is still springy so it secures well. Some faint natural inclusions slightly eye visible, one end diamond has a bit of carbon that you can seek out, but other than that - just some frosty specks and pocket inclusions that are less seen. A few flea bites to the sapphires and some of them have natural inclusions as well but this is mostly all seen under magnification. The stones are lively and well matching despite the difference in cuts which is again not glaring. Typical vintage piece with a bit of warmth here or there, but overall a lovely piece.
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 : )
