1960s turquoise, diamond and sapphire bracelet
A refined example of 1960s design, this bracelet combines turquoise cabochons, brilliant-cut diamonds and faceted sapphires set in a precise, structured composition. Each turquoise is selected for uniform color and surface quality and is bezel-set to both protect the stone and emphasize its smooth domed profile. Diamonds are graduated in size, pavé- and bead-set to create continuous scintillation along the metal framework; sapphires are channel- and prong-set to introduce calibrated accents of deep blue.
The piece displays hallmark characteristics of Cous‑Cous work from the period: disciplined symmetry, careful proportioning of colored stones against white metal, and a tactile construction that balances durability with refined finish. The metalwork includes polished and milgrain-edged surfaces, closed backs beneath the turquoise for stability, and secure box-clasp with safety catch consistent with mid‑20th century standards.
