This vintage Retro aquamarine bracelet and detachable lapel brooch with synthetic rubies and diamonds is crafted in a combination of 18k rose and yellow gold, weighs 108.4g and measures 7.25(adjustable to 8.5)inches long, 51mm wide and 17mm deep. This opulent and sophisticated Vintage Bracelet and lapel brooch epitomizes the bold and colorful style of the 1940's post war Retro era, characterized by the impact of multiple sources of inspiration upon jewelry design. Bracelets were among the most popular jewels of the 1940's, mostly made of variously colored gold and consisted of articulated bands of elaborate linking, always bulky and voluminous in appearance. This versatile typical vintage 1940's bracelet composed of flexible yellow gold 'Brazilian' links features a detachable central decor, incorporating a voluminous ribbon-bow silhouette rendered in textured and polished rose gold. This attention-seeking central decor is outfitted with dual hinged pins and hooks, designed to be worn as a Vintage Pin or Brooch. It is centered with an outstanding 36.24ct emerald-cut aquamarine measuring 25mm long and 16.5mm wide, graded 'light ocean-blue' color and 'excellent clarity. The highly translucent azure gemstone is embraced by 0.95cts of prong-set round-faceted synthetic rubies graded 'lively-crimson' color and 'good' clarity, complemented by 0.58cts of full-cut diamonds graded H-I color and SI clarity range. The absorbing accoutrement of synthetic rubies and diamonds simulating delicate 'buds' are surrounded by polished rose gold 'stems' of unequal length, creating a floral bouquet. This elaborately detailed combination of ribbon-bow and floral arrangement is exposed atop an openwork ovular plaque rendered in polished rose gold and supporting the dual pins referred to as fur clip. The asymmetrically themed, rose gold plaque at the center of the bracelet is skillfully constructed to accommodate the lapel brooch, and a well-concealed tongue and groove clasp with a figure-eight safety latch secure this Retro bracelet of extravagant aesthetic and elaborate design.
