Vintage French Import 1.60ct Ceylon Sapphire, 15.25ct Diamond and Platinum Bracelet Circa 1950

1940 - 1960
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive vintage 1.60 carat Ceylon sapphire and 15.25 carat diamond, platinum bracelet; part of our collection of luxury sapphire jewellery.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique bracelet has been crafted in platinum.

The fully articulated bracelet is composed of forty-six stunning four-claw set transitional modern brilliant round cut diamonds accented with an individually claw set baguette cut diamond, in a linear paired formation; this provides a desirable display of diamonds around the wrist.

The anterior portion of this vintage bracelet has a substantial pierced decorated swept design embellished with two central stunning pear faceted cut blue Ceylon sapphires, totalling 1.60cts, claw set in an opposing formation.

The convex sweeping ribbon designs are embellished with paralleling curvilinear rows of fifty-four transitional modern brilliant round and baguette cut diamonds, in a combination of channel and individual claw settings.

This finely articulated bracelet secures with a discrete integrated push fit clasp to the reverse, and benefits from the additional security of a safety catch and safety chain.

This fine diamond bracelet is hallmarked to the tongue with the French import marks for gold (owl) and platinum (masked man); the piece has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as platinum with an 18 carat gold clasp.

This impressive 1950s blue sapphire and diamond bracelet is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.

This stunning bracelet is supplied with a sapphire report certificate from The Gem and Pearl Laboratory Limited, 43 Kirby Street, London*, in addition to an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.

Such period combination multi-diamond bracelets in this high content and grade of diamond, indicates the high quality of the piece and are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.

NOTE: * This documentation gestures the opinion that the sapphire originates in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and certifies that the gemstone shows evidence of heat treatment.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

Condition

This stunning bracelet is exceptional quality, set with stunning sapphires displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The high colour and clarity graded diamonds display a fine white colour, brilliance and presence.

The bracelet is a superior gauge of platinum and gold, and is in exceptional condition, with clear French import hallmarks to the tongue.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this stunning example of vintage sapphire jewellery.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Mid-century French jewellery from the 1950s is characterised by dynamic, sculptural forms, fluid ribbon motifs, and dense gemstone settings. Jewelers during this era frequently combined platinum with high-carat diamonds and vibrant precious gemstones like sapphires to create dimensional pieces.

Bracelets from this period were predominantly crafted from platinum or 18ct gold. Settings featured combinations of brilliant-cut, baguette-cut, and marquise-cut diamonds alongside natural sapphires, rubies, or emeralds.

Authentic French import pieces bear specific French hallmarks, such as the mask or owl mark for imported platinum items. They also demonstrate hand-cut gemstones, solid heavy construction, and meticulous millegrain or claw settings characteristic of Parisian workshops.

A mid-century sapphire and diamond bracelet can be worn as a standalone focal piece with formal evening attire or paired alongside simple platinum bands to maintain focus on the central gemstones.

Platinum and sapphire jewellery should be cleaned using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush. Professional annual inspections ensure that claws remain secure and gemstone mountings remain tight.
