Art Deco Egyptian Revival Diamond Lotus Bracelet, Circa 1920
7239
A striking Art Deco Egyptian Revival diamond bracelet, crafted in white gold and platinum and dating to the 1920s. Designed as a continuous procession of stylised lotus flowers, this elegant jewel captures the glamour, geometry, and exoticism that defined the most fashionable jewellery of the period.
The articulated bracelet is composed of finely worked links, each centred on a lotus motif set with sparkling diamonds. The repeating floral design creates a graceful rhythm around the wrist, while the cool white gold and platinum setting enhances the brightness and clarity of the stones. Its close-fitting, flexible construction gives the piece both fluid movement and a refined, architectural silhouette.
The lotus was a powerful and much-loved motif in Egyptian Revival design, associated with renewal, rebirth, and the natural world. Interest in ancient Egypt reached a peak in the 1920s, following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, and jewellers embraced its distinctive forms, translating papyrus, lotus blossoms, scarabs, and geometric ornament into highly stylised modern designs.
This bracelet is a particularly appealing expression of that moment: richly decorative yet precisely composed, with the floral softness of the lotus balanced by the crisp symmetry of Art Deco design. A superb jewel for collectors of period diamond jewellery, Egyptian Revival pieces, and refined early 20th-century craftsmanship.
