Created by the Barcelona jewelers Fuset y Grau, this 18K gold, enamel, citrine and diamond bracelet dates from the Art Nouveau period, circa 1900. The hinged bangle of red and yellow 18K gold centers an oval-cut citrine set among chased and engraved scrolling leaves, fronds, blossoms, and ribbons, subtly enhanced with pale green transparent enamel, and accented by old mine, old single, and rose-cut diamonds in platinum-topped gold. With its bold form and unusual palette, this rare jewel in the Catalan modernista style is striking for its consummate artisanship in gold and its design originality.
