Footnotes
Platinum was widely adopted by jewellers in the early twentieth century, which resulted in lighter, more delicate, jewels than earlier jewels which were often set in silver and then backed by gold.
The strength of platinum also allowed the jeweller to pierce the metal into lace-like, or 'petit-point' embroidery as seen in this bracelet offered.
