Description

  • Oscar Heyman & Brothers
  • platinum, diamond, sapphire, emerald
Of openwork design, set with three marquise-shaped diamonds weighing approximately 1.95, 1.80 and 1.80 carats, accented by smaller marquise-shaped diamonds weighing approximately 6.30 carats, further set with round, old European and single-cut diamonds weighing approximately 15.00 carats, decorated with cabochon sapphires as well as calibré-cut sapphires and emeralds, length 7 inches, with plaque stamped PAT FEB 29-1916, with indistinct numbering, with maker's mark; circa 1925.

Condition

In good condition with gentle surface wear to the mounting commensurate with age; the foliate engraving along the gallery remains crisp. Comprised of 33 sections, a relatively high number, preventing the appearance of gaps when worn. The three largest marquise-shaped diamonds are approximately I-J color, VS-SI clarity; the smaller marquise-shaped diamonds are approximately H-J color, VS-SI clarity; and the old European-cut diamonds are approximately G-I, VS-SI clarity. The oval cabochon and French-cut sapphires are a well-matched medium blue; lightly included with minor to moderate abrading. The calibré-cut emeralds are a well-matched, lively, very slightly bluish green; lightly to moderately included. Illegible numbering to one prong to the male end of the clasp. The maker's mark was added by Oscar Heyman in 2014 in recognition of their authorship. Appears to have scratch number 10833. Fitted with a safety chain. The present bracelet is being considered for inclusion in a forthcoming catalogue on the works of Oscar Heyman by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
