Hemmerle Spiral Sapphire, Yellow Sapphire & Leather Bracelet 18k Gold, Circa 198

A masterful exploration of movement and material, this striking spiral bracelet by Hemmerle captures the bold, sculptural sensibility for which the Munich atelier is renowned. Created in the 1980s, the design coils fluidly around the wrist in polished 18k yellow gold, forming an open spiral that feels both architectural and organic. The sweeping curves create a dynamic silhouette, while the substantial gold structure gives the piece an undeniable presence.

At each terminal rests a magnificent round cabochon blue sapphire, totaling approximately 32 carats. Their smooth, domed surfaces glow with depth and intensity, anchoring the composition with rich saturation and quiet strength. Running along the interior of the spiral is a textured deep blue leather inlay—an unexpected yet signature Hemmerle element—introducing a tactile contrast that heightens the bracelet’s visual rhythm.

Accenting the design is a refined row of princess-cut yellow sapphires, totaling approximately 2.50 carats, set within a platinum collar. Their vivid golden hue provides a luminous counterpoint to the cool blue sapphires and dark leather, creating a carefully balanced interplay of color and texture.

Bold yet impeccably controlled, this bracelet exemplifies Hemmerle’s ability to merge precious gemstones with unconventional materials in a way that feels both avant-garde and timeless. It is jewelry conceived as sculpture—meant to be seen, felt, and remembered.
