Glimpse into the Past: Louise Brooks’ Bracelets

The bracelets seen on Louise Brooks are very distinct, all done in diamonds and having a very large width. Bracelets like these are often done with a repeating design done layered on top of one another. This is even done sometimes up to four layers–creating a very thick bracelet!  Louise Brooks was an actress in the 1920s, a true flapper girl.  Love her style and the long earrings are something else!

This 18k white gold bracelet is ornately designed with round and baguette cut diamonds–700 total! That makes 15 carats all together. Although this is a modern piece, from 1990, it looks like something Louise Brooks has on from the 1920s. Price: $28900 from Ross-Simons Estate Collection.

An original piece circa 1925-1935 is this flashy diamond bracelet that totals 20 carats! It is done in platinum and measures 3/4″ wide. The very center of the bracelet features an impressive 1.5 carat European cut diamond. Price: $58000 from Lang Antiques. This is a gorgeous line bracelet featuring some crisp diamonds–all European cut, totaling 12 carats. Whether this bracelet is stacked or worn alone, it will definitely stand out. It is circa 1920, from Single Stone featured at 1stdibs. Price: $44000
