Art Deco bracelet

[Art Nouveau]

I love Art Deco jewelry. I already have 4 rings, a pin/pendant, a necklace and earrings, but have never found a bracelet that I like at an affordable price. Today I found one at an antique show and at a weak moment, I bought it. It has a ~0.75 ct marquise in the center and small rd diamonds ~10 carats (not sure if the weight is accurate). The diamonds are decent quality old European cut and the bracelet is in platinum. I like it because the outline of the bracelet is softer than the usual straight deco bracelets. Widget, our Pricescope Art Deco expert, what do you think?

Wow, NA!!! It''s just beautiful!

I love the use of all the different geometric shapes: oval, marquise, rectangle, etc etc. It''s just lovely. What a great find!

Was the antique show here in the Bay Area?

AN....I figured that out right after I posted my question. In fact, I impulsively decided maybe I'd better drive down an check it out...(today's the last day)... but I pooped out by the time I got to the GG Bridge...I am in the early, icky stages of a cold. So I settled for a quick visit to "Old&New" on Union Street, and came home.

Your bracelet REALLY TRULY is fabulous. I thought I saw emeralds in the first pic!!!!
A real treasure.

I have posted some of my Art Deco pieces before in various posts. Since several of you ask to see them together, I am posting some of them again. I have both original 1920''s pieces and some from the 1940s, 50s and current. I will start with the oldest to newest:

Early Art Deco pin /pendant: This was purchased from a local jewelry store about 20 years ago.
