Antique Art Deco Jadeite & Diamond Bracelet in Platinum

An eye-catching frieze patterned platinum, diamond and jadeite bracelet from the Art Deco period. Superbly designed and crafted with the renowned focus on geometric forms, we see nine verdant green octagonal jadeite plaques have been securely set into rectangular platinum mounts. Each plaque has been centred by a statement old cut diamond that has been securely bezel set. Small old cut stones have been set beside each clipped corner, providing further definition. The frieze pattern design is completed by connecting channel set bands of baguette cut diamonds and richly engraved foliate motifs that adorn the polished platinum sides and underside sections. Jadeite is a gemstone that has been revered and adored in the Chinese culture for thousands of years, and is said to attract good luck and friendship. Showcasing the much sought after pure green colour, this is a true statement piece that instantly brings to mind the newness of spring. The popularity of jadeite has soared in the past few years, with examples seen on the red carpet and featuring in the collections of both the Duchess of Cambridge and the Countess of Wessex.
