ABOUT THIS BRACELET

Dating back to the mid-1800s (1843 to be exact) from Poland, this distinctive Victorian-era bangle bracelet is emblazoned front and center with an artfully embellished cross and all around with a hand engraved foliate and scroll design, all of which are dramatically accentuated with black enamel tracery. On the reverse, which originally bore an open locket compartment, one will discover a hand engraved family crest and coat of arms. A rare and distinctively striking antique wrist adornment. 14K gold. Hand engraved inside the lower bracelet: "d. 24 Czerwca 1843". As would be expected (180 years hence), the rear portion of the bangle shows enamel wear.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
