Ruby Bracelet with Faceted Rondelles and a Silver Leaf
Thirty-six faceted ruby rondelles encircle the wrist and meet a sculpted silver leaf motif.
The strand maintains a deep rose-red colour throughout the bracelet. At the centre, the regular rhythm is interrupted by an organic leaf motif with a set ruby. The rubies are cut as rondelles, allowing numerous closely spaced facets to work together across the continuous strand.
The silver leaf forms the clear focal point of the bracelet. Leaf motifs have remained part of jewellery design throughout the 20th century because they introduce an organic element into an otherwise measured and orderly composition. Here, the motif brings together the natural character of the gemstones and the disciplined structure of the bracelet, a relationship that recurs throughout this collection of late 20th-century jewellery.
