Merry Marquise Bracelet
Merry Marquise Bracelet
It’s like the plot of some Baroque opera. The romantic adventures of the merry marquise! She’s in an opulent costume, wide skirts, layers of silk, frilly details in ribbon and lace. She descends the gilded stair, trilling her high notes, the crowd enraptured. Her ladies follow and perhaps a suitor? Ah, no, he’s watching from below, waiting at the foot of the staircase. Reaches out, takes her wrist, kisses her hand in greeting.
A gorgeous Art Deco diamond bracelet in platinum. A design in triplicate is centered on bead set marquise cut diamonds, surrounded by their ladies (old European cut diamonds) in open work links. The bracelet’s carat weight totals approximately 19.89ctw. Gorgeous engraving and millegrain details across the top; the sides are fully engraved, as well. Hidden tongue clasp and safety catch.
This bracelet is in excellent antique condition. It measures 7.25" long and 1.7mm wide.
