18ct Gold Bracelet by George Lenfant

A wonderful heavy gauge 18ct gold bracelet that was made by Georges Lenfant in the 1970s.

Lenfant was hugely talented and made pieces for Cartier and many of the top Parisian houses.

He studied jewellery both in Paris and abroad before returning home and setting up his own business at the beginning of the 20^th Century. His reputation grew and he began to mark his pieces so that, although they would ultimately be sold by the likes of Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Mellerio they would also carry his mark and be identifiable as having originated in his workshop.

Georges was joined in the business by his son Jacques. During the 1960’s and 70’s the Lenfant workshop produced many beautiful gold chain bracelets such as this bracelet.  The defining Lenfant style is the shapes and textures and most of all the high quality of workmanship.

The firms jewellery remains highly desirable and wearable today.
