Object Description
A beautifully supple vintage gold and diamond bracelet by Van Cleef & Arpels c.1955, the row of thirty-one uniform open links of semi-circular shape formed of brushed yellow gold and set with a round brilliant cut diamond in rub over setting, to a concealed tongue and box clasp. The bracelet has a lovely weight to it, is wonderfully articulated and feels beautiful to wear. The brushed finish to the gold gives it a satiny sheen and the sparkle of the diamonds contrasts nicely against that. It looks great on its own but would also layer well with other bracelets and/or bangles, it’s an easy to wear vintage jewel with a surprisingly contemporary feel.
