LAWRENCE JEFFREY

Signed Jewelry, Estate Jewelry. Circa 1940s, 18k, Boucheron, Paris, France. This rare period Retro bracelet is resplendently stylish. The oversized links are decorated with engraved scrolls representing twigs and branches festooned with carved sapphire, ruby and emerald leaves. Reflecting the Mogul influence on French jewelry, Boucheron made this unusual link version of a tutti fruiti or tree of life motif bracelet. The links are solid, giving this piece a very heavy feel. Very good condition. Noted is expected surface wear to stones with one emerald and one ruby element both moderately chipped. This is not readily apparent without magnification as the stones are small. A full restoration of all the stones could be undertaken. Polishing for the majority and replacement for the two. However, it is our policy not to restore original pieces except at the request of the owner.
