This is a white gold bracelet with two large rubies set. On the bracelet is engraved the phrase: &#8220;For our first anniversary of June 3&#8221;. The bracelet is an elegant and sophisticated reinterpretation of the Art Deco style. Very avant-garde, the jewel is considered one of the most unusual models of the Maison (the estimate for the auction has a very wide range: 1-2 million Swiss francs). At the time of the gift, the couple was on holiday on the French Riviera in Antibes, at Villa La Cro\u00eb.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_95848\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95848\" style=\"width: 709px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/duchessa-con-bracciale.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/duchessa-con-bracciale.jpg\" alt=\"Wallis Simpson indossa il bracciale di Cartier\" width=\"709\" height=\"976\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95848\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/duchessa-con-bracciale.jpg 709w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/duchessa-con-bracciale-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/duchessa-con-bracciale-40x55.jpg 40w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/duchessa-con-bracciale-400x551.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-95848\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wallis Simpson indossa il bracciale di Cartier<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<strong>History<\/strong><br \/>\nIn December 1936 Edward VIII abdicated the British throne to marry the American Wallis Warfield Simpson, who had already been divorced twice.
