Description

This superb item really epitomises the outstanding craftsmanship and elaborate sophistication of Victorian jewellery. This solid Gold hinged bangle (guaranteed no lower than 9 Carat but typically unmarked) is simply breathtaking in design, the simple shape and plain back complemented perfectly by the intricate Cannetille Gold work which adorns the front. It has not only retained it's original safety chain but also it's original leather and velvet lined bangle box (not photographed but included) which is also in excellent condition.

There is some slight damage to the front, although the term "damage" is really too harsh a description. The cannetille work is bordered by raised frames of gold which encircle the front. In the middle these have a slightly "pinched" look under very close inspection, possibly from previous owners holding that area to extract the bangle from its box and possibly applying a little too much pressure.

In every other way the piece is in perfect condition and for this reason is very rare. Many bangles have been twisted, bent, punctured and deformed over the years. Many more are much too small for modern day wear as ladies wrists have greatly increased in size over the past 150 years.

This piece measures approx 7" in circumference, and 1cm in width and is a truly superb example.

Price: £239.00 (approx $440.00 USD)
