French 1890 Art Nouveau Bangle Bracelet In 18Kt Yellow Gold With Gemstones

About the Item

A French art nouveau bangle bracelet. Extraordinary and lavish bangle bracelet, created in France in the late 19th century. Designed with great organics patterns during the early art nouveau period, circa 1890. The craftsmanship of this bracelet is fabulous, crafted in solid rich yellow gold of 18 karats with a delicate thin satin finish. It is accented with little flowered motifs made up in blackened silver for the setting of the rose cut diamonds. The bracelet has beautiful aged patina and is fitted with an invisible hinge and an integrated security push box lock, attached with a security chain for extra safety. There is embellished with a nice selection of natural earth mined gemstones such; diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and pearls. The interesting about this piece We decided to take some time to carefully analyze this piece of jewelry, which in itself is a masterpiece, and give our extra personal opinion. To begin with, the manufacturing is impeccable and the selection and arrangement of the gems is superb. Although the predominant style of this piece is from the art nouveau artistic movement, it can be seen that this piece is one of stylistic transition. It combines Renaissance, Etruscan, Neo-Gothic and First French Empire motifs in its design. All these elements do not compete with each other, but the motifs selected by the artist reinforce the art nouveau style that is beginning to flourish. Due to this small analysis we are sure that this piece is from the late 19th century, made between 1880 and 1890. Diamonds: The silver accents are flush set, with 74 old European rose cut diamonds, 1.48 carats, Rubies: Mounted in bezel settings, with 10 round faceted cut of vivid red rubies, 0.60 carats. Emeralds: Mounted in bezel settings, with 10 round faceted cut of vivid green emeralds, 0.95 carats. Sapphires: Mounted in bezel settings, with 6 round faceted cut of vivid blue sapphires, 0.50 carats. Pearls: Mounted with 2 natural semi round white pearls of about 1.70 carats. Weight: 79.75 Grams, (51.12 Dwt). Size: Fit a wrist up to 7.5 Inches (19 Cm). The inside circumference is 7.69 Inches. Measurements: The maximum width is 27 mm (1.06 Inches) and raise 10 mm at the highest point (1.07 x 0.39 Inches). Hallmarks Stamped twice with the French national mark of the head of the eagle, for the assay and warranty of the 18kt gold. The Art Nouveau Jewelry Or so called the new art jewelry was created in Europe and United States between about 1890 and 1915, coming on the heels of the “overwrought” designs of the Victorian era (which ended with Queen Victoria's death in 1901) and creating a striking contrast to the mainstream Edwardian designs of that time. While jewelry with a similar aesthetic was being made in other countries during the same time period--for example, Jugendstil in Germany and Austria--true Art Nouveau jewelry is decidedly extended in France. It was a short-lived period in jewelry design, lasting only about 15 years, because of the onset of World War I and because the pieces were so over-the-top that people quickly lost interest in them. Characterized by lavish and organic ornamentation, the Art Nouveau movement blossomed in Vienna at the turn of the 20th Century, with influential Austrians architects Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos making significant architectural contributions that helped shape the city's skyline as we see it today. Collateral: It is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box. Condition: The overall condition of this bracelet is impeccable. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the gold. All gemstones are secured in the settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and the authenticity. INVENTORY REF: B111123IMNM/1.917
