Four Diamond Bangle Bracelets by Van Cleef & Arpels from the 1970s

Created by Van Cleef & Arpels, Paris, this set of four 18K gold and diamond bangle bracelets dates from circa 1970. Each hinged bombé form is set with three fields of pavé-set round brilliant-cut diamonds edged by double arch motifs, and alternating with sections of unusually textured gold. An ancient form updated to reflect the free and casual spirit of Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1970s, this opulent stack of stylish bangles still exemplifies Parisian luxury chic.
