Timeless 9.45 ct Diamond Déco Rivière Bracelet, Vienna, c. 1930

Rivières - bracelets that string diamonds together so that they almost look like small rivers of light - are classics of jewelry design that emerged as early as the 1910s. In the early 20th century, these elegant accessories were so popular and sought-after that ladies of the world wore several at the same time. As late as the 1930s, a jewelry catalog could still advise gentlemen looking for a gift: "It is often difficult for a gentleman to give a lady a present - just think of a ring! You want to surprise her, so you can't ask about the size beforehand! Perhaps this is an important reason for the fact that such charming bracelets (...) are ordered particularly often by men. There are no such difficulties here, and the joy of a bracelet is certainly no less!" This bracelet was created during this period, as the cuts of the diamonds suggest. Crafted from fine 950 platinum - the most precious metal at the time - the bracelet is set with a whole row of transitional-cut diamonds with a total weight of around 9.45 carats. The concealed clasp is barely visible when worn, so that the diamonds actually run all the way around the wrist. A total of 43 diamonds have come together here - this is a simple yet beautifully sparkling rivière bracelet made from selected materials. The sides of the solid settings are beautifully engraved. The elegant bracelet came to us from Vienna, where it was created according to the hallmark. Today, this type of rivière bracelet is also known as a "tennis bracelet".
