Circa 1925 — a study in balance, precision, and Parisian cool. Crafted in platinum and 18k white gold, weighing 31.8 grams, this bracelet holds approximately 10.00 carats of old mine cut diamonds, their soft candlelight brilliance playing perfectly against sleek carved black onyx spacers. Seven diamond-set tapering links, joined in perfect rhythm, create a piece that’s both architectural and sensual — the very definition of Art Deco refinement.
Measuring 7.5 inches in length and 15mm in width, she sits with substance and ease — a bracelet that feels as powerful as it looks. The clasp is master-level engineering: tight, secure, with black enamel detail that continues the endless pattern. Stamped with French assay and partial maker’s marks for Charles Fontana & Cie, and accompanied by its original fitted box, Fontana – 13 Rue Royale – Paris.
Charles Fontana & Cie was one of Paris’s most sophisticated jewelers of the early 20th century, operating from the prestigious Rue Royale — just steps from Place de la Concorde, among the world’s most storied maisons. The Fontana workshop became known for its impeccable craftsmanship, precise platinum work, and forward design — jewelry that balanced geometry and grace. Their clients were aristocrats, collectors, and couture patrons who craved the quiet confidence of the avant-garde.
Fontana jewels didn’t shout — they spoke in line and light. This bracelet is that legacy in motion: sculptural, fluid, endlessly elegant.
Pure 1920s Paris — modern then, untouchable now.
