This Gorgeous Antique bangle is an outstanding example
of Quality and Design and is a Victorian Revival piece of the 1880s, which was
popular in the 1920-30s, and this is due to the enamel-like decoration.
Amazingly, it is in Original condition with lots more enjoyment to offer.
Both sides feature an etched design of geometrical, floral and foliate
elements sweeping their way to the hinge &
clasp areas. Black enamelling accents the decoration beautifully. All of this
rests upon a richly stippled background with the sharp, square edges forming a
border at the bangle’s edge. The Workmanship is truly like a work of art.
The hinge and clasp are in excellent working order and
the original safety chain is in place. It has a wonderful buttery yellow
gold hue and the silky feel associated with solid gold.
