At the heart of this bracelet sits a cushion brilliant-cut diamond of 11.12 carats, a stone substantial enough to anchor the entire composition on its own, surrounded here by old-cut diamonds set in silver-topped gold — a construction technique from an earlier era of jewelry making that layers silver over gold to achieve a particular whiteness in the setting without sacrificing the strength and workability of gold beneath it.
Colour and clarity are on request, and we would recommend any buyer seriously considering this piece request the complete grading file for the central 11.12-carat stone specifically, given its role as the focal point of the entire bracelet. What is documented plainly is the central stone's weight and cut, cushion brilliant, a shape that combines the soft, rounded outline of a cushion with the faceting structure of a brilliant, producing a stone that reads as both substantial and lively under changing light.
Silver-topped gold construction is itself a marker of period craftsmanship, largely superseded by modern white metal alloys, which means this bracelet carries genuine historical construction technique alongside its central diamond. Jewelers of the period favoured this approach specifically because silver could be worked to a brighter, whiter finish than the gold alloys available at the time, while the gold beneath provided the structural strength and workability that silver alone could not offer for a piece meant to be worn for decades. On the wrist, the old-cut diamonds surrounding the central stone provide a softer, warmer frame of light, their romantic quality of sparkle contrasting deliberately with the more assertive brilliance of the central 11.12-carat stone. That contrast between the anchor diamond and its supporting stones is very much the point of the design, drawing the eye first to the centre before rewarding a closer look with the detail worked into the surrounding setting. A central stone of this weight also gives the bracelet a clear focal point that a bracelet without a dominant stone would lack, making it particularly effective as a standalone piece requiring no further jewelry to complete a look.
Independent certification is available on request, and given the significance of the central stone, we consider a full grading report essential reading before any purchase is finalised. This bracelet is entered in the Legacy collection following careful review of both its central stone and its period construction technique by our specialists. We handle viewings of pieces with this kind of historical construction particularly carefully, allowing time to examine both the stone and the setting technique. We would welcome the opportunity to show you this piece in person.
