ART MODERNE EMERALD & YELLOW GOLD BRACELET, 1940s
ART MODERNE EMERALD & YELLOW GOLD BRACELET, 1940s
Couldn't load pickup availability
GREEN, GOLD & GLORIOUS, THIS BRACELET SERVES PURE ART MODERNE confidence with eleven cabochon emeralds punctuating an articulated chain in 18k yellow gold. From a very important private Swiss collection, this streamlined display of geometry and colour feels as modern today as it did eighty years ago.
A COLLECTOR'S MUST because original Art Moderne bracelets set with emeralds are exceptionally difficult to find. This example delivers the period's strength of lines while ensuring wearability. The smooth cabochons soften the architecture, creating a rare balance of mechanics and style.
STYLE: Wear it solo and let that emerald green do all the talking. It is sensational against bare skin, razor sharp against muted tailoring and unexpectedly chic over the cuff of a fine knit. While no stack is required, this bracelet plays well with other gold bangles.
Our Price Analysis
AN EXCELLENT PRICE because this rare association of gemstone quality and unmistakably Art Moderne design is highly collectible and exceptionally wearable.
• DESIGN & PERIOD: A genuine 1940s bracelet whose mechanical chain link construction transforms industrial geometry into sculptural elegance.
• GEMSTONE MERIT: Eleven exceptionally consistent, vivid-green cabochon emeralds totalling 5 ct; a rare number of spectacularly-matched stones brought together in a single period bracelet.
• MATERIAL VALUE: A substantial 37.7 gr of solid 18k yellow gold, giving the bracelet reassuring weight, presence and enduring material value.
• CRAFTSMANSHIP & RARITY: The emeralds are integrated into the articulated architecture rather than applied as incidental accents. The result is a distinctive, one-of-a-kind jewel balancing colour, movement and strong period design.
• MARKET COMPARISON: Positioned below the market average for comparable gold bracelets set with more than 4 ct of emeralds — particularly compelling given its 1940s provenance, substantial gold weight and unusual eleven-stone composition.
COLLECTOR VALUE: Highly collectible and exceptionally wearable, this is an excellent price for a collector seeking authentic 1940s design, significant emerald presence and substantial gold without the additional premium commanded by a famous signature.
