Summary edit

Description

Loop bracelet on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.

Van Cleef & Arpels is a French jewelry, watch, and perfume company founded in 1896 by Alfred Van Cleef and his uncle, Salomon Arpels, in Paris. In 1925, a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet won the grand prize at the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes.

There are many ways to cut gemstones. In 1902, the Asscher cut was developed. The Asscher cut is square or rectangular with wide corners, a high crown, a small table and large culet. It became wildly popular in the 1920s for its geometric form and step-cut shape. Asscher cut gemstones went well with Cubist jewellry, which became move lavish and abstract.

This Cubist bracelet is made of platinum and diamonds. It was designed by an unknown artist for Van Cleef and Arpels in 1929.
