Description
Goossens bracelet, 24kt gold plating and agates. XX – France
Extraordinary manchette-type bracelet from Goossens, plated in 24kt gold and with large agate stone cabochons. Following its manchette or sleeve type typology, it is a wide, rigid and open bracelet. It features a luxurious and opulent style inspired by Byzantine and Renaissance jewelry. It is made with a gold metal base, with a 24-karat gold plating. The details are worked with great precision, including small pearls that frame each stone and border the lines of the bracelet, which reinforces its artisanal character.
Black agate stones in different sizes and shapes are symmetrically distributed along the bracelet. The contrast between the black of the agates and the shine of the gold creates a dramatic appearance, characteristic of the style of Goossens, who used to collaborate closely with designers such as Coco Chanel. The slightly rough texture of the gold base adds an organic element that balances the visual richness of the design. Signed inside.
The Goossens brand, founded in 1950 by Robert Goossens in Paris, is known for its work in creating luxury jewelry and decorative objects. from its beginnings, Goossens collaborated with major fashion houses, especially with Coco Chanel, with whom it developed a close relationship. Together they created jewelry pieces that mixed the baroque, the Byzantine and the Renaissance.
The brand’s artisanal approach includes the use of traditional techniques such as gilding and the manipulation of semi-precious stones. Goossens managed to transform affordable materials such as glass or gold metal into luxurious-looking jewelry. This philosophy led to the creation of striking yet refined pieces, which have been used in haute couture fashion shows and are appreciated as art jewels. Following the retirement of Robert Goossens, the company passed into the hands of his son Patrick Goossens. In 2005, Chanel acquired the brand, ensuring that its creations maintained the quality and artisanal legacy that characterizes the brand.
