A spectacular mid-century Corletto bracelet crafted in Venice, Italy (circa 1960–1970), executed in solid 18k yellow gold with rich texturing and platinum elements dedicated to the diamond settings. Boldly modernist and unmistakably Italian, the design is fully enlivened with hot enamel applications in white, black, and red, forming a striking feline motif with exceptional sculptural presence. The platinum head is illuminated by a pavé of 30 graduated European round brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 2.60 ctw (F/G color, VS clarity), while the mouth is set with 14 calibrated round faceted emeralds totaling approximately 0.28 ctw, and the eyes are finished with 2 bezel-set round faceted rubies totaling approximately 0.20 ctw. Remarkably constructed from multiple independent components secured with screws and pins, it closes with a concealed security push box clasp and an additional hinged safety latch. Length: 8 in (20 cm); weight: 128.5 g (82.40 dwt); measurements: 26 x 51 mm (1.02 x 2.01 in); stamped with maker’s mark, assay/warranty for .750 gold, and signed “CORLETTO K18 ITALY .750.” Very good conditions. All our diamonds and colored gemstones are naturally earth-mined. Any synthetic (lab-grown) stones will be clearly indicated in the description. Upon Request, Auction House may provide an appraisal.
