Verdura Bracelets

Verdura bracelets are iconic pieces of jewelry in which gemstones or rhinestones are laid out in the shape of a Maltese cross. Original Verdura bracelets, not only luxurious and exquisite, but also expensive. The cost of bracelets made of gold with real diamonds and topaz is measured in tens of thousands of dollars.

Mademoiselle Coco became famous for her great achievements in fashion. This is probably why the authorship of these bracelets is attributed to her. But this is not the case. The ingenious Coco loved to wear such bracelets, and Fulco di Verdura made them (in the 1930s, Fulco di Verdura was a jeweler of the Coco Chanel fashion house and a great friend of Coco).

Still, Chanel is also involved in the creation of such bracelets. She had a lot of jewelry, and she asked Werdur to redo some of them. When Verdura made these massive bracelets with the Maltese Cross, Chanel was delighted with this somewhat odd design. She loved Verdura bracelets so much that she wore them everywhere, and then these bracelets became a hallmark of her style.
