ABOUT THIS BRACELET

It's icing on the cake or, in this case, icing on the bracelet. Lovely and lightly crafted in bright buttery 9K yellow gold, this Victorian-era jewel is beautifully decorated with delightful Etruscan-style borders and flourishes. The velvety smooth center plaque--trimmed with twisted textured coiled wire accented with tiny gold spheres-- is punctuated with a lively old mine-cut diamond in a star setting that twinkles between glimmering garnet* doublets (garnet tops backed with red glass). Curling leafy vines of twisted wire create pretty flourishes on each side. Sweet! Quite lovely worn alone, it also plays well with others. Try stacking it with similar styles: 40-1-11417, 40-1-11418. Hand fabricated in Great Britain, circa 1900-1910, it measures 6 3/4 inches. *Original to the bracelet.

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.
