Victorian 18K Gold Pearl, Enamel & Old-Mine Diamond Bangle Bracelet | c.1870s Museum-Quality Antique
£5,545.00
A breathtaking Victorian bangle from the 1870s, exquisitely crafted in solid 18K gold and adorned with a luminous natural saltwater pearl, deep royal-blue enamel, and antique old-mine cut diamonds.
This is not merely jewellery — it is a work of 19th-century decorative art.
The bold architectural lines, hand-engraved gold, and vibrant enamel panels are characteristic of the finest high-Victorian craftsmanship, a period celebrated for its mastery of colour, structure, and precious materials.
At the centre sits a beautifully preserved natural saltwater pearl, glowing with soft, silken lustre, framed by a radiating gold star motif. On each side, old-mine cut diamonds sparkle with a warm, candle-lit fire that only true antique stones can possess.
The bangle opens on a hidden hinged mechanism with safety chain, allowing it to sit securely and elegantly on the wrist — a hallmark of elite Victorian jewellery.
