A magnificent early Art Deco articulated bracelet, hand-crafted around 1910–1920 in 18kt gold topped and platinum. The design centers upon a tapered navette plaque anchored by a natural Old European Cut diamond (approx. 0.45–0.50 ct, ~5.0 mm diameter) set within a millegrain-bordered bezel. The openwork head is framed by geometric lines of 52 calibre-cut deep blue sapphires and set with an array of accent diamonds (8 Old European cuts and 18 single cuts). The central section transitions into link bands, secured by a tongue-and-groove box clasp with a safety figure-eight catch. Stamped with official French control import hallmarks, including the "Owl" (hibou) for gold and the "Mascaron" (tête d'homme barbu) for platinum.
