Carved Ruby, Sapphire and Diamond Tutti Frutti Strap Bracelet

About the Item

Created in the 1920s, this Art Deco “tutti frutti” strap bracelet is composed of sapphires, rubies, diamonds, and platinum. It is designed as a highly stylized diamond vine with carved ruby and sapphire leaves and cabochon ruby berries, completed by a buckle motif clasp accented by a line of buff-top sapphires. Among the most original and sought-after haute joiallerie styles to originate in 1920s Paris, this extravagant and colorful “tutti frutti” bracelet reflects the profound influence of Indian arts on the imagination of Art Deco jewelers. Item #: BA-20650 Circa: 1920s Size: 7.50” length, 0.60" width Materials: 17 leaf-carved sapphires (approximate total weight 10.40 carats); 28 cabochon and leaf-carved rubies (approximate total weight 9.85 carats); 4 buff-top sapphires (approximate total weight 1.00 carat); 193 old European-cut diamonds (approximate total weight 7.10 carats); Platinum Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: In this original tutti frutti bracelet, cool blue sapphire leaves are contrasted with glowing ruby berries and carved ruby leaves, all stemming from a highly abstracted branch motif delineated in crisp, sparkling old European-cut diamonds, and set in a minimum of finely worked platinum. The bracelet’s designer deliberately merged the long Indian tradition of gem-carving with abstract Islamic foliate ornamentation to create a jewel of dynamic East-West modernism.

Bulgari Ceylon Ruby "Serpenti" Bracelet
By Bulgari
Located in New York, NY
This opulent five-coil gold, Ceylon ruby and diamond "Serpenti" bracelet dates from the Dolce Vita period of 1950s Rome, when Bulgari jewels reached new creative and technical heights. Drawing on beloved ancient models from art and archaeology, the bracelet is designed as a coiled snake whose rounded body is composed of hand-formed curved tubogas links surmounted by beaded mesh, its engraved head with flickering tongue set with a fine oval-cut Ceylon ruby, diamond accents, and diamond eyes, while a concealed compartment beneath the ruby opens to reveal a watch with circular dial. With its astonishing flexibility, and soft, sinuous feel, the bracelet winds beautifully up the arm, an emblem of Bulgari’s modern style and unequaled craftsmanship bringing to life a classic jewel worn by the empresses and goddesses of the Minoan, Egyptian and Roman worlds. Artist: Bulgari, Rome Country: Italy Circa: 1955 Size: 29’’ length, 0.625’’ width Materials: Oval-cut Ceylon ruby (total approximate weight 2.50 carats); 4 Old European-cut diamonds (total approximate weight 1.20 carats); 18K Gold (total approximate weight 178 grams) Signed: "Bulgari Italy" Documentation: Together with American Gemological Laboratories (AGL) certificate #1113269 from March 30th, 2021, stating the ruby’s origin is Ceylon (Sri Lanka) with no gemological evidence of heat Literature/Exhibition History: A diamond and emerald serpent bracelet of this complex beaded model, belonging to the Bulgari Heritage Collection...
