The polished gold bracelet of hinged design, with a clasp designed as a stylized buckle, set with calibré-cut invisibly-set sapphires, accented by old European and single-cut diamonds weighing approximately 2.65 carats, gross weight approximately 40 dwts, internal circumference 6 inches, signed Boucheron Paris, with French assay marks; circa 1937.
Condition
In good condition. Bracelet displays scratching and wear to the surface, consistent with normal wear. Slight discoloration to the end of one terminal is visible under close inspection but not noticed when worn. Some light denting and nicking to the bracelet is visible at the bottom of the bracelet. The eye-clean sapphires display an even, slightly violetish blue hue. The diamonds are approximately H-J color, and VS-SI clarity. The signature appears on the bracelet side and the hallmarks appear on the hinge. Most comfortably fits a small to medium sized wrist.
