About the Item
Braided links in 18 karat white gold forming a Chevron pattern, an inverted V pattern, with each side meeting at the point without interruption. The results are a seamless zig-zag pattern with each ‘valley’ marked with a brilliant cut diamond.
In total approx. 2.20ct of diamonds.
7in / 18cm long.
0.787in / 2 cm wide.
The bracelet weighs 64.7grams and is Signed W.A Bolin, Stockholm 1966.
The chevron pattern, with its repeating "V" or inverted "V" shape, is a versatile design element with a rich history, found in various contexts including architecture, military insignia, and fashion. It can signify upward movement, prosperity, protection, strength, and balance, and has been used to represent military rank and personal in heraldry. Used as early as the Romans and Greeks.
Not many companies have been owned by the same family for 229 years. WA Bolin has been court jewelers for five Russian tsars since 1796 and three Swedish kings since 1916.
Being a Swedish appointed court jeweler means that W.A. Bolin has the Swedish royal house and the court as customers and is hired for example for the repair and maintenance of the state jewelry used for celebrations such as Nobel festivities and royal dinners.
Bolin created the engagement ring worn by Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden prior to her 2010 wedding with Prince Daniel.
The Bolin jewelry firm was originally founded under the name Römpler, after German-born Andreas Römpler, the ‘Master of Diamonds’. After Römpler died in 1829, his son-in-law Gottlieb Ernst Jahn assumed management of the firm. In 1833, the Swedish-born Carl Edvard Bolin moved from Stockholm to St Petersburg and began working with Jahn at Römpler. He married the late Römpler’s daughter Ernestine a year later and, when his brother-in-law died the following year, took over the business, renamed it ‘Bolin’ and enlisted the help of his brother Henrik Conrad. Carl Edvard was honoured with the title of Jeweler to the Imperial Court only four years later in 1839 and maintained this title until his death in 1864. The firm’s popularity continued to soared in subsequent years, allowing Henrik Conrad to open a shop in Moscow in 1852 which he ran in partnership with Englishman James Stuart Shanks. However, after Henrik Conrad’s death, Shanks established his own separate firm.
At this point, Henrik Conrad’s son Wilhelm James Andreevich Bolin oversaw the Moscow branch of the firm and sought help from his cousins Edvard and Gustav in the running of the new St Petersburg branch C.E. Bolin. Production under Wilhelm was predominantly in the Art Nouveau style that was becoming increasingly popular in Russia at the time. In particular, the firm produced fine glass (Lalique) and crystal as well as silver-mounted ceramics. By the start of the twentieth-century, Bolin was one of the most important Russian jewelers alongside Fabergé and Hahn.
In 1912, Wilhelm took exclusive control of the Moscow branch, naming it W.A. Bolin, and also became the official supplier of the Imperial Court (a title which he kept until the end of 1916). In that same year, the Bolin brothers were each awarded with hereditary nobility and the accompanying right to a coat-of-arms as gratitude for their services to the state. Sadly, the Russian Revolution saw the closure of the company, and much of its stock and account books were seized by the Bolsheviks. Bolin’s customers were even tracked down and had their items confiscated. Fortunately, Wilhelm succeeded in smuggling a portion of the stock to Germany, re-establishing the company in Sweden and earning the title of Court Jeweler to the Swedish King Gustav V. Today, the firm continues to exist in Stockholm and serves the current monarch of Sweden, King Carl XVI Gustav and his family.
The company today focuses on the traditional core business as a jeweler with production in its own workshop. They still maintain shop and workshop in the same premises as it provides the opportunity to continue to maintain both quality and a high level of service.
