ABOUT THIS BRACELET
This lovely Victorian buckle* bangle, rendered in brightly burnished 9K gold and masterfully hand engraved with a lush foliate design, features the time-honored buckle motif which originates from the British Order of the Garter. Hand fabricated in 9ct. gol in late-19th century England, it measures 6 3/4 inches. *Explaining the use of the buckle in jewelry, this comes courtesy of Antique Jewelry University (AJU): A popular motif for bracelets, rings, and brooches throughout the Georgian and Victorian eras paid homage to the Order of the Garter. Styled after the garters worn by the prestigious recipients of this oldest of British chivalry awards, the motif appeared as the surround for brooches and as central design elements for rings and bracelets. Buckles were prominently featured as a result of their functional as well as decorative role in jewelry design.
