Rescuing jewelry that’s been ravaged is a rough task. I’ve learned over the years which projects are feasible and which are mission impossible. When I found this bracelet with its stones removed, I knew it would be expensive to restore, but I just loved the design- I couldn’t leave it behind.

It’s an unusual karat- 18.9k as confirmed by x-ray- and has a warmer white gold tone. I believe this was originally made in the early 1900s. To keep it age-appropriate, I have added 10 slightly graduated old European cut diamonds, which have lovingly been re set in their original design; three small beads on each of the four corners to hold the stone securely.

It is the most perfect everyday piece- I have personally not taken it off since I picked it up!
