The bracelet of bombé form, set with 11 cushion-cut emeralds weighing approximately 21.00 carats, accented by round emeralds weighing approximately 36.75 carats, completed by round diamonds weighing approximately 58.00 carats, gross weight approximately 104 dwts, internal circumference 7½ inches, signed Van Cleef & Arpels, numbered NY 35563 and NY 59909, with French maker's mark; 1965.

Formerly From the Collection of Brooke Astor.

In very good condition. The medium-deep slightly bluish green cushion-shaped emeralds are very well-matched for color and slightly included. The approximately 221 round-cut emeralds are medium very slightly bluish green and moderately included. The slightly different shade of green presented by cushion-shaped and round emeralds adds a pleasing depth to the design. The approximately 308 diamonds are approximately F-G color, VVS-VS clarity. The partially articulated bracelet is intricately constructed but shows minimal metal when worn. Clasp opens by retracting the safety latch, then squeezing the tongue's diamond-set terminals. Bearing a nice heft, approximately 105 dwts.
