Description

This Edwardian ruby and diamond bracelet dates to the early 1900s and combines platinum with 18ct yellow gold. Old cut diamonds form the principal decoration, while a fine border of vivid rubies surrounds the central oval section. The bracelet has an elegant, articulated construction with openwork detailing and contrasting yellow and white metal, giving it the refined lightness associated with Edwardian jewellery.

Design & Craftsmanship

The centrepiece has an elongated oval form framed by closely set rubies, with old cut diamonds arranged across the openwork interior. Platinum sections extend from either side in a flowing symmetrical design, each set with further diamonds. Meanwhile, polished 18ct yellow gold provides warmth beneath and around the setting. The articulated oval links continue around the wrist, allowing the bracelet to sit comfortably and move naturally. A safety chain provides additional security, which is a practical feature for regular wear.

Why We Love This Bracelet

The balance of colour and structure makes this bracelet particularly appealing. The rubies create a strong but controlled contrast against the diamonds, while the old cuts bring softer flashes of light than modern brilliant cuts. The platinum and yellow gold construction also gives the bracelet depth without making it feel heavy. It is a well-proportioned Edwardian piece that combines decorative craftsmanship with genuine wearability.

How to Style

This Edwardian ruby and diamond bracelet suits someone who appreciates original Edwardian jewellery, old cut diamonds and distinctive ruby pieces. It works beautifully as a standalone bracelet because the central section provides enough presence on its own. However, its relatively fine proportions also allow it to sit alongside a slim antique bangle or watch. It would work equally well for evening wear, weddings or as a more distinctive everyday piece for someone who likes antique jewellery with subtle colour.
