ABOUT THIS BRACELET

This slender Victorian bangle (circa 1909) is hand fabricated in brightly burnished 9K gold, masterfully engraved with a sweeping scroll design, and features the time-honored buckle motif, which originates from the British Order of the Garter. This comes courtesy of our Antique Jewelry University (AJU): The buckle, 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. How lovely, a bit of British history to grace your wrist. The hinged bangle measures 6 3/4 inches with an oval shape.

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.
