La Nouvelle Bague 18K Gold, Sterling, Enamel & Diamonds Hinged Ball Bangle
About the Item
La Nouvelle Bague (LNB), founded in Florence in the late 1970's by the husband-and-wife team of Leopoldo and Lea Poldi, was devoted to Florentine craftsmanship, especially enamel work. Mr. Poldi worked with the best Italian metalsmiths to develop his layered enameling techniques with an eye to creating permanent and wearable pieces of art.
The 1990's were the heyday for the Poldis and their company. Inspired by art and history, steeped in the craftsmanship traditions of Florence, LNB made incredible, individualistic designs like the bracelet you see here. The enamel ball hinge, in deepest green with a layer of gold "pebbles" is referenced with a whimsical adjacent Mini Me version in perforated rose gold. A spattering of green enamel "confetti" adorns one side of the bracelet near the clasp. These kinds of details are so utterly charming and so antithetical to most of the design-by-committee jewelry we see today.
The ball hinge is flanked on one side by a band of white gold pavé set with twenty-four clean, full-cut diamonds. Based on the age of the bracelet, we can confidently guarantee these diamonds are natural (i.e., earth-mined) stones, and we rate them at least G-H color and VS2 clarity, with a total estimated weight of approximately one quarter of a carat.
The bracelet opens and closes with the push of a button, then turns on the hinge concealed inside the big green enamel ball.
The ball is enamel and gold over sterling silver. All other components are 18 karat gold.

"Skinny Twist" Stacker Set: Rhodolite Solitaire w Diamonds + Two 18K Gold Bands
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Story time!
Eytan Brandes was asked to make an engagement ring with a bulgy band and a setting for a nice two carat diamond. When the ring came back from the caster, the band was about half as thick as the band he'd designed. This kind of thing happens occasionally; usually the undersized, or oversized, or upside-down, or backwards, or misspelled, or otherwise misbegotten bauble just goes into the melting pot and we all move on.
In this case, however, Eytan liked the ring's frankly unbalanced look -- its giant center basket hovering over the whisper-thin band. It doesn't work as an engagement ring, but it makes for a cool solitaire. He therefore set the band with ten itty-bitty diamonds and, for the center, he set a delicious, richly hued rhodolite garnet.
The diamonds are natural (earth-mined), untreated little brightlings -- G-H color and VS1-2 clarity. They're full-cut and set in little raised pits spaced evenly across the front half of the ring; discreet prongs hold the stones in place.
The stone basket in the center of the ring is cleverly formed by the four triple prongs that reach up from the bottom of the basket to grab the four corners of the center stone -- a gorgeous rhodolite garnet in deep red with chocolatey undertones and flashes of pink. It's nicely cut with a huge table and a modified Swiss-cut pavilion.
We like the way the ring looks on its own, but we also like it beefed up a bit, so we're including two twisty bands that stack nicely with the garnet -- giving the wearer either option. Eytan made these bands ages ago; they were just sitting in the safe until The Boss realized they'd make a great set with his garnet ring.
And they lived happily ever after!
