High-Jewellery Vintage 1945 18K Gold Ruby & Diamond Buckle Mesh Bracelet
About the Item
An extraordinary vintage circa 1945 heavy 18K gold bracelet, designed in an intricate belt-and-buckle mesh motif and set with an elegant combination of rubies and diamonds. Crafted with exceptional detail, this is a true collector and investor piece, celebrated for its one-of-a-kind design and luxurious construction.
The wide, articulated mesh is crafted in solid heavy gold (an impressive 85 grams), giving the bracelet a beautiful drape and a substantial, opulent feel on the wrist. The central buckle section is richly decorated with marquise-cut rubies, old-cut diamonds, and a distinctive diamond-set kite-shaped accent—details rarely found together in retro jewellery of this era.
Rows of dome-shaped rubies, rubover set within the mesh, alternate across the bracelet, while the tapered end is framed with polished gold panels and bordered by square rubies that culminate in a marquise ruby point. Its intricate construction and bold 1940s styling ensure the piece is immediately striking and highly desirable. A side safety clasp offers additional security.
This bracelet showcases the glamour of the post-war Retro period at its very best—heavy, sculptural, intricate, and truly unique. Vintage bracelets with this level of craftsmanship and condition are exceptionally difficult to find, adding long-term value for collectors and investors seeking rare post-war luxury gold pieces.
