An Unflappable Classic

The roaring 20’s were a time period full of life and the arts. They ushered in a new style of flapper dresses, short haircuts, long necklaces and Art Deco jewelry. Here at CIRCA we’re particularly interested in Art Deco pieces. When made by the hands of a master jeweler, like this Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet, they are one of the most collectible items in the market. With platinum so fine that it feels smooth on the skin, and interesting geometric patterns, these bracelets are extremely wearable and always in style.

This particular bracelet is platinum set with diamonds in a lovely wavelike pattern, which contrasts beautifully with the otherwise linear feel of the piece. Art Deco jewelry spans roughly from 1918-1938. The lack of color in the bracelet helps us to determine that this item is from the mid-20’s. Art Deco bracelets from the 1930’s are better known for little hints of color, mainly rubies, sapphires or emeralds.

These days, you see these beautiful bracelets embellishing the wrists of celebrities at almost every awards show. The current style of “more is more” is to stack several of them, giving a fuller, more substantial look. True Art Deco bracelets never go out of style, so it is always a good time to sell.
