Vintage Sapphire and Diamond Linked Bracelet, c.1950s

18 Carat Yellow Gold

£2,650.00

This retro and vintage bracelet features a total of 2.00 carat's worth of Sapphires as the main feature. They are a wonderful blue and are cabochon cut stones, making them really stand out. Each of the three stones is beautifully highlighted by a halo of round brilliant diamonds. The diamonds have a combined weight of 1.30 carat and are estimated to be G in colour and VS in clarity. The difference in setting work shows the craftsmanship of the piece, with the sapphires being rubover set and the diamonds expertly grain set. These designs are held in place by a linked bracelet, all made of 18 carat yellow gold. The clasp has a safety feature for extra security.

Cut

One of the most defining characteristics of a diamond is its cut. While high grades of color, clarity, and carat weight affect a diamond, it's the cut that determines the symmetry of the stone's facets, its overall proportions, and its ability to reflect light. An expertly cut diamond will achieve high levels of brilliance, sparkle, and durability. For more information and cut types, see The Four C's.
