In the 1930s, Georges Lenfant created gold bracelets with geometric links combined with precious or semi-precious stones. These bracelets could employ a single family of stones - such as our sugar loaf chrysoprase bracelet - or several, playing on bold color combinations. These models were offered to the great jewelry houses of the time, such as Lacloche Frères. Bibliography: A plate of the Atelier Lenfant's studies of these colorful bracelets is reproduced in the book "LACLOCHE Joailliers" by Laurence MOUILLEFARINE and Véronique RISTELHUEBER (Editions Norma, L'Ecole des Arts Joailliers, 2019, pp. 266-267.
