An incredibly rare and extraordinary vintage Van Cleef & Arpels diamond bangle featuring a spectacular gold on gold design. Crafted in rich 18k yellow gold, this incredible piece is set with approximately 9.30 carats of fancy yellow round brilliant cut diamonds in a tightly arranged half pavé setting. The combination of saturated yellow diamonds against the warmth of the yellow gold creates an amazing depth of color and an almost continuous surface of golden brilliance. The beautifully domed construction gives the bangle a substantial, rounded profile, with a gorgeous curvature that highlights the intricate diamond setting and exceptional craftsmanship. The interplay between the polished gold and richly colored diamonds is particularly striking, giving this piece an incredible presence while maintaining the refinement associated with vintage Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry. Signed and numbered by VCA, this is an exceptionally rare example of the maison’s work, combining an unusual diamond selection with a sophisticated design and remarkable goldsmithing. Weighing 24.3 grams, the bangle best fits wrists measuring approximately 5.75 to 6.25 inches.
