Art Nouveau Gold Diamond Griffin Bangle Bracelet

Antique Gold Diamond Griffin Bracelet

A powerful and rare Art Nouveau bangle bracelet crafted in rich gold, centered by a sculptural griffin motif set with diamonds. An exceptional piece of symbolic jewelry from the early 20th century, blending myth, artistry, and fine craftsmanship.

This striking Art Nouveau gold bangle bracelet features a boldly modeled griffin, a mythical creature symbolizing strength, protection, and guardianship. The sculptural griffin head is rendered in high-relief gold, its fierce expression animated by carefully set diamonds—one accenting the mouth and two smaller stones forming the eyes, adding depth and intensity to the design.

The bracelet’s openwork construction and flowing lines reflect the defining principles of the Art Nouveau movement, where natural forms, mythology, and expressive design replaced rigid symmetry. The shoulders are adorned with elegant foliate motifs, seamlessly integrated into the structure of the bangle and enhancing its visual rhythm.

Substantial yet refined, this bracelet was clearly conceived as a statement jewel—meant to be worn, admired, and collected. Pieces of this quality and subject matter are increasingly scarce, particularly those combining mythological imagery with precious stones in such a confident sculptural form.

A compelling acquisition for collectors of Art Nouveau jewelry, myth-inspired design, or rare gold bracelets with strong symbolic presence.
