Bracelet

This is a Bracelet.

This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Anonymous as part of The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s.

It is dated 1925. Its medium is platinum, osmium, gold, enamel, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds.

Geometry and color feature prominently in this exceptional bracelet by Boucheron, set with rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds, shown at the 1925 Paris exposition.

It is credited Lent by Siegelson, New York.

Large, whimsical, bow tie-shaped brooch in contrasting colors. A rectangular, blue lapis lazuli forms the center of a symmetrical pattern of pointed arches of green jade, semicircular and arc-shaped red coral, and a black onyx background. Fine lines of platinum-set pave’ diamonds outline the brooch and also the lapis and jade. The carved semiprecious stones have a shiny smooth surface but are opaque, which enhances the impression of bold color contrast. The jade and the onyx are finely paneled along lines that remind of the fabric folds and the curved shape of a bow tie.

An asymmetrical pair of multicolored 'Tutti Frutti' earrings in the shape of curving swags, similar to a pair of boots turned outward and comprised of carved emeralds, sapphires, and rubies. Scrolling diamond volutes punctuate each end, while geometric gems and cabochons are irregularly assembled on both pieces. Both earrings feature a round emerald with a diamond in the center, placed near the top. The earring on the viewer's left feature additional gemstones and in particular, the blue sapphire and pinkish red ruby. The latter appears in a somewhat floral shape along the bottom left side of the piece. The earring on the right features additional diamonds cut in an irregular, diagonal aspect as well as a small and especially dark sapphire near the bottom corner. At the bottom of each swag are four rectangular diamonds placed side by side along a slight curve.
