Edwardian Bracelet Old European Cut Diamonds Platinum Gold 18k Estate Jewelry
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A beautiful Edwardian bracelet made of 18k gold and platinum, featuring Old European cut diamonds. It’s a classic bangle bracelet that has a perfect size and great proportions. Old European cut diamonds are four-prong set all the way around the wrist.
It has no hinge, which contributes to a flawless look of the piece.

The Edwardian bangle is made of platinum and 18k yellow gold and set with forty Old European cut diamonds (H-I color, VS clarity). Each diamond weighs approximately 0.40-carat, so the total diamond weight is approximately 16.00 carats.
The bangle measures 7 ½” x ¼” (19 x 0.6 cm) and weighs 27.7 grams.
About Edwardian Jewelry:
Edwardian jewelry design, common during the reign of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom (1901-1910), reflects the opulence and sophistication of the period. This era is known for its refined craftsmanship and influence of the cultural trends.
One of the hallmarks of Edwardian jewelry is the extensive use of platinum. This metal enabled makers to create elaborate settings and allowed for the creation of light, lace-like patterns. That’s why pieces of the Edwardian era showcase filigree work, where fine wires of metal are twisted and shaped into delicate designs.
The main motifs for Edwardian jewelry frequently drew inspiration from nature. Common themes included garlands, flowers, and leaves. These elements were often rendered in a romantic manner, reflecting the period's appreciation for natural beauty.
Diamonds were the gemstone of choice during the Edwardian era, often used with platinum to enhance the sparkle and whiteness of the gems. Pearls were also highly favored, symbolizing purity and sophistication. These gemstones were commonly used in tiaras, necklaces, and brooches...

Today, it would be tough to track down a jewelry lover who doesn’t have a stack of vintage bangles and other bracelets ready to go for any occasion.
People have worn bangles and other bracelets for centuries. Examples can be found in the wide range of personal adornments favored by the Ancient Egyptians, some of whom wore bracelets and armlets made of gold and flecked with gemstones such as lapis and turquoise.
Fashion has evolved over the years, but the popularity of bangles has remained the same. Jewelry makers have created cuffs in all manner of styles, and no matter what your taste, you can find antique and vintage diamond bangles, ruby bangles, emerald bangles and more to suit you and to pair with any of your favorite ensembles. And although “bracelets” and “bangles” are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between the two.
Bangles are solid, one-piece bands that are always characterized by their rigid ring shape. Today, they’re made of metal, plastic, wood or other materials. Because this cuff is a solid piece, you have to slide it over your hand. Bracelets, however, are flexible pieces. Whether they’re charm bracelets, link bracelets, beaded bracelets or another variety, you open and close a bracelet at its ends, where it locks around your wrist with a clasp.
Bracelets and bangles suit most anyone, and there’s a style of bangle for every occasion, whether you’ve opted for an Art Deco bangle, a Victorian-era bangle or another kind. And their versatility doesn’t end there. Jewelry lovers know that when it comes to bangle bracelets (and other kinds of bracelets), you never have to choose just one. Just as you might wear a vintage tennis bracelet by itself or pair it with other thin bracelets, you can opt for a simple pared-down look with a single bangle or go big and stack your sculptural modern bangles to deepen their impact or double up your classic gold bangles and pair them with a T-shirt and jeans or a comfortable cotton day dress.
Browse an extensive collection of vintage bangle bracelets and other bracelets on 1stDibs. Find extraordinary works by iconic jewelry houses such as Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and David Webb, or peruse the array of link bracelets, cuff bracelets and diamond bangle bracelets for innumerable accessorizing options.
