1665 - Designer Jewelry: Round Bangle with Opal and Diamond

Designer Jewelry: Round Bangle with Opal and Diamond Design: Wilhelm Buchert (1939 Zwickau – 2023 Kiel) One-of-a-kind piece, from 1992. 900/- fine gold and 950/- platinum, hallmarked. Total weight: 81.1 g. Engraved signature and date: BUCHERT '92, 900 + Pt. 1 cabochon-cut opal (4 x 0.6 cm). 1 diamond, approx. 0.2 ct (tw-w/vsi). Inner dimensions: 5.5 x 6 cm. Very good condition. Artistic bangle with an architectural-sculptural design. The wide, matte-finished gold band is encircled by delicate, parallel platinum arches that lend the clear, geometric basic form a floating lightness. An elongated opal with an intense play of blue-green colors creates a striking vertical accent, while a single-set brilliant-cut diamond complements the composition. The dynamic interplay of solid gold surfaces, open spatial structures, and asymmetrically arranged gemstones gives this one-of-a-kind piece its distinctive artistic expression. A characteristic example of experimental German designer jewelry from the early 1990s.
