Georges Verger Rose Quartz and Ruby Cuff
Composed of warm rose gold, this bold Georges Verger cuff bracelet, with its frosted rose-quartz, ruby berry beads, and intersecting diamond arcs slips onto the wrist for glamorous day-to-evening wear. Brothers Georges and Henri of Maison Verger Frères were hidden figures producing extraordinary Art Moderne work for the premier jewelers of Paris and New York. Not only did Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Boucheron count on Verger to realize their most challenging and imaginative designs, but they prized Georges’ stunning original creations, such as this bracelet, which they retailed as their own.
