Zolotas Greek Antiquity-Styled Bracelet and Necklace Set, Diamonds by the Yard Necklace Highlight Upcoming Sale by Winbids Auctions

The origins of cuff bracelets trace back to the times of ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. Adorned as protective amulets, these bracelets were designed in gold. They were also considered to be symbols of power and safety. A Zolotas 22-karat gold set of cuffs and necklace fashioned in an early Greek style is a key highlight of the upcoming sale from Winbids Auctions. Each cuff fits up to 8.5 inches and measures three inches in width. The necklace fits up to 17 inches and measures 3.25 inches in width. Established in Athens in 1895 by Efthimios Zolotas, the jewelry maker is known for its signature designs, primarily drawing inspiration from antiquity. Another noteworthy piece in the catalog is an 18-karat yellow gold and silver snake bangle. It is studded with old mine diamonds and two ruby cabochon gemstones. 

A platinum Diamonds by the Yard necklace, weighing 44.9 grams, also leads the listings. It is styled with 124 diamonds, together measuring approximately 45 carats. Two bracelets made of gold and platinum are of interest as well. One is a Calderoni Italy 1900 Art Nouveau Liberty piece, and the other is a French flexible bracelet created by Emile Rattan.
