AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique 4-strand Pearl Bracelet, presumably dating from circa 1915–1930, made in 14 karat gold with platinum diamond settings.
The bracelet consists of four rows of pearls, interrupted by about 12 rectangular platinum links set with old rose-cut diamonds.
Material and hallmarks
The gold-colored parts, clasp and connectors are made of 14 karat gold. The white rectangular diamond settings are made of platinum.
On the loading/sliding part of the clasp there are assay/master marks. These are clearly photographed and form part of the photo series of the lot. The bracelet is offered as 14 karat gold based on the visible marks and material check.
Diamonds
The bracelet contains about 48 old rose-cut diamonds, distributed over about 12 platinum links with about 4 diamonds per element.
Type: natural diamond
Cut: old rose cut
Quantity: about 48
Size: about 2 mm per diamond
Estimated total carat weight: about 0.80 ct
Color: white to lightly tinted, consistent with old rose-cut diamonds
Clarity: not separately laboratory-graded; natural inclusions and variations may be visible upon magnification
Treatment: no treatment known; not laboratory-tested
The total carat weight is an estimate based on the measurements, since the stones have not been removed from their settings and weighed separately.
The old rose-cut diamonds have the characteristic relatively flat bottom and irregular historical faceting associated with this cut.
Pearls
The bracelet contains about 108 pearls.
Type: presumably cultured Akoya pearls
Origin type: presumably saltwater
Quantity: about 108
Diameter: about 5 mm
Color: white/cream
Shape: round to slightly irregular / button-shaped
Surface: natural surface irregularities and light blemishes present
Luster: good
The pearls have not been examined by a gem laboratory. The description as cultured Akoya/saltwater pearls is therefore based on appearance, size, construction and type of jewelry and is not guaranteed as laboratory-verified provenance.
Dimensions and weight
Bracelet length: about 20 cm
Width: about 12.5 mm
Gross weight: 25.18 g
The weight is the total gross weight of the bracelet including gold, platinum, pearls and diamonds and is therefore not the net gold weight.
Period and style
Estimated manufacturing period: about 1915–1930.
Style: early Art Deco, with influences from the preceding Belle Époque/Edwardian period.
The dating is based on construction, the use of platinum diamond settings, the rose-cut diamonds, the multi-strand bracelet type and the clasp design. There is no separate document confirming the exact production year.
Condition
The bracelet is in good antique/vintage condition given its probable age. Normal aging and wear are present.
The pearls show local surface irregularities, slight discolorations and signs of wear consistent with age and use. There are also light signs of wear on the gold and platinum.
No known recent restoration is noted. Any older repairs or adjustments cannot be entirely ruled out for a piece of this age.
The bracelet features a traditional sliding/basket clasp and an additional safety chain.
Please view all photos carefully; they form an important part of the description and show the current state, hallmarks, diamonds, pearls and clasp.
Certificate
There is no gemstone or pearl laboratory certificate present.
Shipping
The jewelry will be carefully and professionally packaged and shipped by registered mail with tracking and insurance.
