Art Deco Burma
Sapphire &
Diamond Bracelet,

Sapphires approximately 69 carats

The lace-like design of this diamond-set platinum bracelet elegantly weaves seven royal blue cabochon sapphires from Burma. This magnificent, century-old piece is a contrast in textures, balancing the cool smoothness of the cabochons against the scalloped edges and curved open-work diamond design. The result is an aesthetic that harmonises the boldness of the sapphires against the lightness of the diamonds to create an ornate and distinct piece.
