AN EXQUISITE DIAMOND BRACELET, VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Designed as three pav-set diamond square plaques, each with an old European-cut diamond center and baguette-cut diamond accents, alternating with baguette-cut diamond panels, enhanced by pav-set diamond terminals, mounted in platinum, circa 1935 Signed V.C.A. for Van Cleef & Arpels, No. N.Y. 17755 Bold, yet understated characterizes this bracelet. Crafted with the same attention to detail evident on all Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry, the design of this bracelet is an evolution of the art deco style into the retro period, with corners rounded on the plaques and on the tops of the intervening panels. Still, the rectilinear aspect is very much evident through the diamond shapes: baguette and circular cuts, accented with pav settings. A work of art, or piece of jewelry, can be classified as great only if the design is complete within itself; adding or changing any part would disturb its balance. This is certainly true of this bracelet, which not only is a visual delight for the eye but, understandably, also a joy to wear.
