Antique Art Nouveau French Emerald, Diamond and Gold Bracelet

The limited partnership of Strauss, Ettlinger et Cie was formed, on 29^{th<\/sup>\u00a0December, 1906, in Paris, between Armand Cahen-Strauss, Paul-L\u00e9opold Ettlinger and Auguste Ettlinger, and became formally active from 1st<\/sup>\u00a0January, 1907. The company specialised in the design, making and retailing of fine jewellery, and liturgical objects, such as monstrances, chalices, ciboria, patens, etc.. In legal documents it was often referred to as 'A.C.Strauss, Ettlinger et Cie (maison J.Moche et Cie)' which suggests that after retirement of the jeweller J.Moche, in 1903, the partnership acquired his intellectual property assets, including a brand name. Strauss and Ettlinger reapplied in 1908 for a metal mesh fabric patent in Germany for the export of purses, reticules, bags, coats and other chain mail articles. The name of the partnership was changed to 'Ettlinger et Cie' on 1st<\/sup>\u00a0January, 1910, when Cahen-Strauss took retirement and sold his share to the Ettlinger brothers. However, the company continued to use the brand names 'A.C.Strauss, Ettlinger et Cie (maison J.Moche et Cie)' and 'Ettlinger et Cie (maison J.Moche et Cie)' until its closure in 1930 benefiting from associated goodwill. The name Moche explains the maker\u2019s mark, although by direct translation the word means ugly, in current use, historically it was also used for a twist of silk, very much like a silk skein.<\/p>","description_short":"An antique, French, Art Nouveau, emerald\u00a0and diamond bracelet, with embossed, foliate openwork plaques, with diamonds in the centre,\u00a0flanked by a row of calibr\u00e9-cut emeralds, mounted in gold, with a maker's mark, for\u00a0Strauss,\u00a0Ettlinger\u00a0et\u00a0Cie., circa 1907.","available_now":"","available_later":"","id":9083,"id_product":9083,"out_of_stock":2,"new":1,"id_product_attribute":"0","quantity_wanted":1,"extraContent":<>,"allow_oosp":1,"category":"all-jewellery","category_name":"All Jewellery","link":"https:\/\/moirafinejewellery.com\/all-jewellery\/9083-antique-french-emerald-diamond-and-gold-bracelet.html","attribute_price":0,"price_tax_exc":4833.333333,"price_without_reduction":5800,"reduction":0,"specific_prices":<>,"quantity":1,"quantity_all_versions":1,"id_image":"gb-default","features":<{"name":"Style","value":"Art Nouveau gold and gemstone bracelet","id_feature":"5"},{"name":"Metal","value":"Gold","id_feature":"6"},{"name":"Stone","value":"Emerald and diamond","id_feature":"7"},{"name":"Condition","value":"Good - Wear consistent with age and use","id_feature":"13"},{"name":"Period","value":"Circa 1907","id_feature":"4"},{"name":"Measurements","value":"Approximately 186mm long, 10mm wide","id_feature":"9"},{"name":"Country of origin","value":"France","id_feature":"15"}>,"attachments":<>,"virtual":0,"pack":0,"packItems":<>,"nopackprice":0,"customization_required":false,"rate":20,"tax_name":"VAT UK 20%","ecotax_rate":0,"unit_price":0,"customizations":{"fields":<>},"id_customization":0,"is_customizable":false,"show_quantities":false,"quantity_label":"Item","quantity_discounts":<>,"customer_group_discount":0}">}
