1925
Bracelet
The band bracelet that had been in vogue since the early 1920s is used here as the support for a platinum and diamond perforated frieze with repetitive motifs that, together with the piece’s use of just one color, provide decorative cohesion. Illustrating the period’s taste for white diamond jewelry, a group of stylized round roses unfurls across the surface of this openwork piece, flanked by flowers with navette-shaped petals and interspersed with four larger diamonds. The typology and simplified iconography are typical of the early Art Deco style in Van Cleef & Arpels’ creations.
