1940s Nastix 14 Karat Rose Gold Ruby and Diamond Covered Watch Bracelet
About the Item
This circa 1940s Nastix 14 karat rose gold covered watch bracelet pairs a hidden manual wind timepiece with a ruby and diamond crescent motif, a hallmark of the retro era's ingenious dual purpose jewelry design. Nastix crafted the piece as a sculptural, chevron link bracelet very much in keeping with the substantial rose gold work favored in the 1940s, engineering a spring hinged cover that lifts to reveal a compact square dial, itself signed Nastix and fitted with a manual wind movement. The cover is set with four round brilliant rubies, approximately 0.40 carats total weight, arranged around a crescent of four single cut diamonds, approximately 0.13 carats total weight, graded G to H color. The dense, ribbed rose gold surface of the cover contrasts beautifully with the polished chevron link bracelet, a technique that speaks to the confident, architectural gold work of the period. This 1940s piece measures 5/8 of an inch in width and 6.5 inches in length, with a total weight of 41.55 grams reflecting the substantial rose gold used throughout. Nastix pieces from this era are becoming harder to find in this dual function format, making this bracelet a distinctive survivor of the covered watch tradition and a genuinely functional piece of jewelry, not merely an ornamental one. Please note this piece is sold as is, with a small chip disclosed in one of the diamonds. This ruby and diamond Nastix bracelet would make a wonderful gift for a collector of retro era jewelry or vintage timepieces, and it suits anyone drawn to convertible, dual purpose designs that combine fine jewelry with functional watchmaking.
