LACLOCHE FRERES - Lot 383
LACLOCHE FRERES A splendid Art Deco-era bracelet in 850-th platinum, with the central links set with navette-cut diamonds in a closed-set setting, surrounded by modern-cut and baguette diamonds in grain and closed settings forming a geometric pattern, the articulated, openwork links punctuated by emerald cabochons in prong settings within a floral motif embellished with modern-cut diamonds in grain and closed settings; the clasp features a ratchet mechanism with a safety lock. Number of diamonds: 220 diamonds Estimated diamond weight: approximately 5.5/6 carats. Signed and numbered 762 Bracelet length: 17.5 cm Gross weight: 31.66 g Expert’s note: This delicate, fully articulated bracelet is emblematic of the Lacloche style of the 1925–1930s. The presence of navette-cut diamonds—iconic to the Lacloche style of this Art Deco period—takes center stage on this bracelet. We also find this diamond cut in bracelets from the same era in the book *Lacloche Joaillier* by Ms. Laurence Mouillefarine. Paired with emerald cabochons, these diamonds evoke the botanical brooches from the same period by the Parisian house. This combination of Art Deco’s geometric lines and the softness of the emerald cabochons marks a turning point in the style of the Lacloche Brothers House, prior to its dissolution as a firm in 1931. Our bracelet is thus the pinnacle of the Lacloche brothers’ Art Deco style.
