A signature design from an iconic firm, this highly rare Van Cleef & Arpels ruby bracelet showcases the luxury jeweler’s patented mystery-set design. The bracelet is adorned with a dazzling bounty of 110 pigeon's blood red rubies totaling approximately 22.50 carats. The stunning red gemstones, with their coveted deep red hue are almost certainly from the famed Burma mines. The radiant sea of red rubies is accented by intricately arranged brilliant round white diamonds totaling nearly 11.00 carats. The gorgeous bracelet is crafted from lustrous 14K yellow gold.

The mesmerizing mystery-setting technique makes the metal mechanics of a jewelry piece entirely invisible. Vibrantly-hued gemstones are each placed side-by-side in the patented setting, creating dazzling and unbroken swathes of color free from flashes of metal. Van Cleef & Arpels was granted the patent for this proprietary gem setting style in 1933 and it remains one of the most iconic jewelry breakthroughs of the 20th century.

For over a century, Van Cleef & Arpels has attracted the most discerning clientele, including royalty and celebrities who covet their exquisite creations. Mystery-set ruby jewelry from Van Cleef & Arpels often graces the collection of the most esteemed jewelry connoisseurs. In fact, a similar mystery-set bracelet was once owned by the renowned early film star Marlene Dietrich. With its velvety surface, rich color and enchanting gravity-defying design, this bangle bracelet is a true embodiment of the style and artistry that has made Van Cleef & Arpels a global sensation.

The bracelet is accompanied by a signed fitted box.
