IMPORTANT GADROON BRACELET Open cuff bracelet in 18k (750 thousandths) yellow gold with a hinge on one side to make it easy and comfortable to wear. In the centre is a knot, four parts of which are paved with approx. 2.50 ct. of round brilliant diamonds. The rest of the bracelet has hollow gadroons on the inside that extend to the ends. Wrist size: approx. 17 cm. Height of the central part: 3.3 cm. Gross weight: 83.4 g. The term "godron" is an old word that mainly referred to features specific to goldsmiths from the 14th century onwards. These were metalwork decorations representing repetitive motifs in hollows or swellings, offering rounded volumes. As fashions evolved and collars became more prominent in the 16th century, the imposing gadrooned burrs became part of the costume, an accumulation of pleats in the often starched lace. With this bracelet, we return to the very essence of the vocabulary of the late Middle Ages. The work of embossing the gold into bulging canulas demonstrates uncommon jewellery-making dexterity and, above all, a jewellery fashion that would establish this motif between the 1970s and 2000s.
