Pierre Baltensperger 18K Gold Floral Bracelet | Swiss Modernist Link Bracelet | Vintage ca. 1947 | Estate Gold Jewelry
$5,600.00
An exceptionally fine and heavy 18K gold bracelet by Pierre Baltensperger, composed of sculptural floral plaques rendered in a semi-abstract style.
Each link represents a different flower—daisies, cyclamens, fuchsias, morning glories, and honeysuckle—interpreted with a controlled, modernist sensibility. The design reflects a shift away from naturalistic representation toward a more sculptural approach, placing this piece at an interesting intersection between late Art Deco influence and postwar modernism.
Pierre Baltensperger, who assumed leadership of the firm in 1950, was not only a jeweler but also an important Swiss sculptor, and that influence is evident in the bracelet’s construction and form. The weight, articulation, and clarity of the individual plaques give the piece both presence and fluidity on the wrist.
The clasp is signed “Baltensperger” and bears 18K marks and inventory numbers, confirming both authorship and material.
A substantial and highly distinctive example of mid-20th century Swiss gold jewelry, with strong maker attribution and sculptural character.
