Strap bracelets of "simple but striking" geometric composition remained in vogue from the 1920s to early 1930s. By 1930, calibré-cut accent stones such as sapphries, rubies and diamonds, had been retired in favor of a gleaming all-white palette. As a form, the bracelet was the ornament of choice for newly bare arms, a feature of the revolutionary directions explored in haute couture in the period. Fine specimens like this strap are smoothly articulated, definite and pared down in design, and set with fine, clean diamonds of contrasting cuts.
