Rare Floral Giardinetti Antique Bangle Bracelet

About the Item

A rare and early example of a giardinetti bracelet, from the first wave of creation, c. 1730-60 rococo period. The asymmetrical openwork bracelet face is set with rubies, emerald,sapphire and diamonds in the form of a flower spray. This bracelet can be identified as Italian due to the appearance and design of the smooth concave back, along with the quality of the chasing workmanship. The of diamond rose cut is a common feature for the giardinetti bracelet. Fondly named giardinetti or giardinetto Italian for little garden. Despite the Italian namesake, there’s no evidence of an Italian design origin: the earliest examples in museums and in the Koch collection are identified as West European; further examples from 1750s-on survive from England, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and even Russia. Sources of inspiration can be traced to the fascination with botany and popular horticulture that began in the 17th century. Growing interest in the cultivation and study of plants produced an abundance of botanical engravings, which provided artistic inspiration for the various floral-themed textiles, paintings, marquetry, wallpaper, and various decorative arts produced during this period. In jewelry, giardinetti-type designs can be found in rings, brooches, and hair ornaments. The floral motifs were particularly well-suited for rococo design, with its obsession for swirling asymmetry and stylized naturalism. Weight: 29.80gr. Wrist size : 16,8 cm.
