{"product_id":"edwardian-platinum-diamond-mesh-bracelet","title":"Edwardian Hand-Fabricated Platinum Lattice Bracelet — Natural Seed Pearls \u0026 5.85 CTW Diamonds, Circa 1905–1915","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHand-fabricated in platinum during the Edwardian era, this wide lattice-work cuff is a masterclass in the period's signature aesthetic — what the trade calls \"platinum lace\": impossibly fine metalwork, worked so delicately it moves like fabric on the wrist, and set with a density of stones that would be prohibitively difficult to reproduce today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe body of the bracelet is a hand-woven mesh of natural seed pearls, its diamond-set trellis dividers running the width of the piece in a repeating rhythm of knife-edged foliate motifs — the wheat-sheaf and ribbon-swag detailing so beloved of Edwardian goldsmiths. At intervals along its length, circular medallions punctuate the design, each centered with a single pearl or diamond in a millegrain surround, giving the eye a place to rest amid the intricacy of the mesh. At 45mm — nearly 1¾ inches — this is an unusually wide example of the form; most surviving Edwardian pearl-and-diamond bracelets run a slender 6–8mm. The scale here is closer to what one would expect of a formal bracelet made for evening wear at the height of the Belle Époque, when a woman's jewelry was expected to catch candlelight from across a ballroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe diamond content is exceptional: a total weight of approximately 5.85 carats, set throughout the lattice and medallions in the period's characteristic open-back, millegrain-edged style that lets light pass fully through each stone. Edwardian jewelers worked almost exclusively in platinum for this reason — the metal was strong enough to be worked paper-thin, allowing maximum light return from every facet, and its cool white tone let diamonds and pearls read as a single unified sparkle rather than competing for attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe seed pearls throughout are natural — as is standard for jewelry of this period, made a full decade or more before cultured pearls entered the American and European markets in any commercial volume. Seed pearl work of this density and fineness was a specialist's art, and by the 1920s the skill itself had largely disappeared along with the cheap, abundant supply of tiny natural pearls that made it possible. A bracelet like this represents not just a beautiful object but a vanished craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBRACELET\u003cbr\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eplatinum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e54.7 grams\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1.75\" wide (45 mm wide) x 3 mm thick\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWrist Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 6\u003c\/span\u003e.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003enone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCirca 1905-1915\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIAMONDS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEarth mined\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 412 (410=2.8-1.3mm\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e+ 2=4.5 mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e2.8–1.3 mm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e410=5.84 cts \/ 2=0.70 cts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Old Mine Cut, \u003c\/span\u003eOld European \u0026amp; Rose Cuts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI\/J\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVS2-SI2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePEARLS\u003cbr\u003eOrigin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNatural\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e2.3-2.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRound faceted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewhite\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Vault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53917542515002,"sku":"204-ED-TH-BR","price":32000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/7398\/7898\/files\/edwardian-hand-fabricated-platinum-lattice-bracelet-natural-seed-pearls-585-ctw-diamonds-circa-1905-1915-3289448.jpg?v=1788953947","url":"https:\/\/petrastar.com\/fa\/products\/edwardian-platinum-diamond-mesh-bracelet","provider":"Petra Star","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
