ABOUT THIS BRACELET

Stacking (or two-wristed) bangles are nothing new; stylish Victorians were quite fond of multiple wrist wraps. Case in point, this rare matching set, most likely originally intended as wedding bracelets. Intricately hand engraved, creating a tactile texture, they are embellished all around with a garland-esque design artfully accented with flowers and garters in black enamel tracery (also known as taille d'epargne). A wedding garter historically symbolized good luck, fertility, and a bride's virginity. Today, it primarily represents tradition, intimacy, and romance. A double dose of beauty and sentiment. Hand fabricated in 15K gold (hence of British origin), each hinged oval-shaped bangle measures 6 inches. Circa 1880, in pristine condition.

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.
