ABOUT THIS BRACELET

So, you need a statement cuff? We've got one for you. Definitely in the one-and-only category, this remarkable Victorian Egyptian Revival wrist wrap is replete with all sorts of ravishing details. The striking focal piece, outlined with a fine textured-finish frame, presents a Limoges porcelain plaque exquisitely painted with an exotic Egyptian beauty (perhaps a Queen) en habille (the French term for being dressed), adorned with a headdress and choker necklace glimmering with rose-cut diamonds in silver settings. Hand fabricated in rich, velvety 18K yellow gold and gleaming with a soft velvety patina, the hinged cuff, measuring a quite conspicuous 1 1/2 inch wide, is embellished-- in striking juxtaposition--with a geometric design and a free-flowing flourish. Victorian chic with an Egyptian twist--what more could you want. Circa 1890-1900. Measures 7 inches. Condition note: two shallow dents in the rear.

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.
