Belle Epoque Diamond Bow Bracelet

The front of this impressive bracelet is shaped like a bow, studded with a combination of old mine-cut and rose-cut diamonds. 

All diamonds have been set in open settings, allowing light to pass through the stones.

The center is set with a round old mine-cut diamond of an estimated 0.55 carats, I-J/VS. The front is further set with 53 diamonds of various shapes and sizes, varying from rectangular cushion-cuts to old mine-cuts and rose-cut diamonds. All diamonds have a good colour (H-I) and only have minor inclusions which cannot be seen with the nakes eye. All diamonds combined, including the central stone, have an estimated weight of 3.05 carats.

The bangle opens and closes with a box clasp which is still working securely. The bracelet is also fitted with a safety chain, to prevent it from slipping off unnoticed.
