18 Karat White Gold, Ruby and Diamond Bracelet
Designed as a belt motif, composed of seven rows of faceted ruby beads displaying a vivid purplish-red hue, completed by a buckle-form clasp pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold. Length approximately 7 inches. Gross weight approximately 60 grams.
Specialist’s Note: The playful belt design, combining richly colored rubies with a diamond-accented clasp, reflects the mid-to-late 20th century penchant for whimsical yet elegant jeweled forms. The supple strands of faceted beads lend the bracelet both movement and presence, while the buckle motif evokes a tradition of jeweled symbolism associated with strength, eternity and fidelity.
