A signature of French high jewelry history. This antique gemset clover curb bracelet is a signed creation by Mellerio dits Meller, the oldest continually operating jewelry house in the world and a name synonymous with Parisian refinement and royal patronage. Crafted in a sophisticated combination of 18k gold and silver and weighing 23.2 grams, the bracelet reflects the house’s mastery of structure, symbolism, and color.
At its center rests a clover-form cluster measuring approximately 22 × 22 mm, set with three unheated sapphires—green, pink, and blue—each approximately 0.50 carat. The deliberate use of natural color variation is a hallmark of Mellerio’s aesthetic, favoring harmony and meaning over rigid symmetry. The substantial curb chain measures 7.2 inches in length with a confident 7 mm thickness, anchoring the design with balance and authority.
A rare, signed example of Mellerio workmanship, collected not only for its materials, but for its place within the lineage of French high jewelry.
