The articulated bracelet of bombé form composed of gold honeycomb links set with numerous round rubies, length 7¾ inches, unsigned, with French assay and partial workshop marks.

In good condition. The rubies, well-matched for color, are a deep, purplish-red, lightly to moderately included, with some examples showing surface scratching or chipping, though such wear is only evident under magnification. The bracelet is flexible and well-made and bears a nice heft. Although unsigned, this piece is accompanied by a copy of the original invoice from Boivin dated December 20, 1964.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
