This exquisite bracelet, crafted in the Egyptian Revival style during the Art Deco period, is a breathtaking example of early 20th-century design. Its intricate articulation allows for seamless movement, while the three panels depict pastoral scenes that capture the essence of ancient Egyptian life along the Nile. Featuring vibrant gemstones, including tourmaline, emerald and opal, the bracelet is enhanced by the bold contrast of black onyx and the sparkling radiance of single cut diamonds totaling 0.30 carat. The intricate craftsmanship is marked by a master stamp of a blacksmith equipped with a hammer and anvil.
The discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 sparked an intense fascination with Egyptology, and this bracelet stands as a stunning tribute to the subsequent Egyptomania. Set in 18K gold and perfectly preserved in its original fitted case, this bracelet is a rare and highly detailed example of Art Deco jewelry.
