Camrose and Kross Jackie Kennedy Castellani Red Enamel Bracelet

For a 10 years, Jacqueline Kennedy’s estate allowed Camrose and Kross to reproduce some of her jewelry. However, these pieces are no longer manufactured and the molds have been destroyed. This is a very special bracelet with a wonderful history. The bracelet has writing on both side in Latin that says: NON RELINQUAM means "I will never give up on you." NON RELINQUES means "You will never give up on me." Originally made in 1870, The Castellani Wedding Bracelet was created at the direction of the British Lord Layard by Augusto Castellani in Milan for Layard's wife. Castellani was one of the greatest jewelry designers of Europe. Castellani made only three of these bracelets. The Borghese version went to auction in 1983. As a world traveler and sophisticated patron of the arts, Jacqueline Kennedy knew of the famous Castellani bracelets and always wanted one. She waited a lifetime for her opportunity to acquire this exquisite piece - and she did for $170,000. • 18 karat gold plated • 7"L with a 1"L extender • original steel, velvet covered box • from my personal collection and never worn, new without tags • non-smoking, pet friendly home
