span style="font-size: 18pt;">Presented is a unique triple strand pearl bracelet, with 18 karat white gold and oxidized black, diamond set spacers. This is a relatively contemporary piece, likely of American make. The bracelet consists of three strands of lovely pearls, measuring about 5.4 millimeters in diameter. The strands are gathered at three points along their length with spacers in a sort of stylized flame shape, done in 14 karat white gold with a layer of oxidized, matte black metal on the front. Each spacer is set with three modern brilliant cut diamonds, slightly graduated in size, totaling about 21 points in weight. These are vibrant, dazzling stones of VS-1 clarity and very white G/H color, which really pop in their black settings. The bracelet has a tab insert style clasp cleverly designed as part of the final spacer, so the clasp is essentially invisible when worn. In addition, there is an attached white gold safety chain with springring clasp, for added security.

The clasp of the safety chain is stamped 14k. We have tested the diamond-set spacers with nitric acid and guarantee that the backing metal is 18 karat white gold.

This piece is in excellent condition. The diamonds are all well set and intact. The clasp and safety both function well and closes securely.

The bracelet measures about 6 1/2 inches, not including the tab of the clasp, which does not contribute to the overall length when worn.

This bracelet weighs 25.1 grams.
