Jean Després French Modernist Tri-color Gold Bracelet

Creator: Jean Despres
Offered by: Macklowe Gallery, Ltd

Description
Composed of tri-color 18K gold, this modernist bracelet by French jewelry artist Després dates from 1935-1940. It is designed as a series of yellow gold arched, waisted plaques with subtle hammered texturing, centering ridged prism and graduating step motifs in white and rose gold, joined by arched rose gold links. This unusual tri-color gold bracelet represents Després' late work in the Art Moderne style, a rhythm of rounded, parabolic and angular geometric forms expressed in soft, gently textured gold.
