Platinum, Sapphire and Diamond 'Ribbon' Bracelet, Paul Flato

Set with 45 cabochon sapphires weighing approximately 200.00 carats, gathered at the center by a bow, set with baguette and old European-cut diamonds weighing approximately 7.85 carats, length 7 inches, unsigned; circa 1935. With box signed Paul Flato.

In very good condition. The cabochon sapphires range from very light violet blue to medium violet blue, and they range in clarity from very lightly included to lightly included. A few of the cabochons exhibit some minor chips under magnification. The diamonds are approximately H-I color, VS clarity. The bracelet is very flexible and well-made. Together with a letter of authenticity from Verdura.
