Summary

[edit]
Description

Bracelet on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.

There are many ways to cut gemstones. In 1902, the Asscher cut was developed. The Asscher cut is square or rectangular with wide corners, a high crown, a small table and large culet. It became wildly popular in the 1920s for its geometric form and step-cut shape. Asscher cut gemstones went well with Cubist jewellry, which became move lavish and abstract.

This Cubist bracelet is made of platinum and diamonds. Although the maker is not known, it was probably made in France in the 1920s. It was once owned by the actress Mae West.
