The image captures a central intaglio on a bracelet known as the bandeau, which forms part of the exquisite Devonshire Parure. The level of detail and craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly remarkable.

It serves as a testament to human creativity and skill throughout history. Diane Naylor has expertly captured every intricate detail in her photography, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this stunning work of art.
