This exquisite 7-inch bracelet showcases a continuous row of rich, deep-purple oval-cut amethysts, each expertly set in classic four-prong mountings. The stones are linked by double-bar connectors of warm yellow gold, allowing fluid movement and a refined drape on the wrist.
Dating from circa 1885, the bracelet is documented in family provenance alongside matching Cartier pieces from the same collection. The vibrant amethysts exhibit remarkable saturation and clarity for their age, and the gold retains its original luster. The clasp is secure, blending seamlessly with the elegant design.
