A diamond encrusted bracelet with geometric forms set in platinum divided into three sections with thick diamond links connecting them. The middle section consists of a central marquise cut gemstone in a vertical orientation with baguettes and round diamonds on each side clustered to appear like arrows. Additional round diamonds are positioned to resemble a geometric jigsaw puzzle connected with a small amount of space in between throughout the section. The two adjacent sections consist of a centered long hexagonal cut gemstone with the same design surrounding it consisting of trapezoidal cuts in a vertical orientation. Emanating from the top and bottom of the centered design are trapezoidal forms composed of round diamonds overlapping the edges of the bracelet. To the right and left of the center cut gemstone are two baguettes in a continuous horizontal plane with three marquise gems on both sides vertically placed increasing in size toward the ends of the section. The bracelet ends with a curved form of round diamonds following the curve of the marquise gemstone and clusters of baguettes appear before a diamond encrusted fold-over clasp. The bar part of the clasp ends the bracelet on the opposite end. The photograph captures the bracelet resting on a diagonal with one end on the bottom left and the other end terminating on the upper right. A cast shadow appears on the lower edge of the bracelet that is resting on a white ground.
