Edwardian diamond tiara bracelet in platinum on 18KT gold, a convertible jewel worn on its tiara frame for the evening and clasped at the wrist by day.
Fifteen graduated old European cut diamonds sit on point in square millegrain collets along the centre, divided by openwork platinum scrolls and framed top and bottom by borders of rose cut diamonds. The diamonds rise from the ends to three stones of 1.50 ct each at the middle.
Convertible tiaras of this kind were made for the Edwardian season, when one diamond band had to serve at court, at the opera and in the daytime. Platinum laid over gold shows the diamonds white from the front while the 18KT rose gold back keeps the articulated sections strong, the construction London and Paris jewellers used in the years around 1905 to 1910. The bracelet comes with its tiara frame, a wire band bound in black ribbon with gold fittings at each end, and is housed in its fitted green leather case.
