£15,750.00
A striking vintage lion head bangle crafted in 18K gold, featuring rich blue enamel, natural sapphires, emeralds and diamonds. Designed with sculptural lion heads and intricate openwork detailing, this statement bracelet combines bold presence with refined craftsmanship.
Description
A beautifully crafted vintage bangle in solid 18K gold, featuring an elegant combination of enamel work and natural gemstones.
The bracelet is designed with two finely sculpted lion heads facing each other — a classic European motif symbolising strength, protection and authority. Between the terminals, the design is enhanced with gemstone accents, creating a natural focal point.
The body of the bangle is richly decorated with intricate openwork patterns, set with natural sapphires, emeralds and diamonds. The deep blue enamel provides a vivid contrast against the warm gold, giving the piece depth and visual richness.
The craftsmanship is detailed and refined, with careful attention to texture, proportion and balance. The combination of sculptural form and decorative surface makes this a distinctive and collectible piece.
Substantial in weight and presence, this bracelet is not a delicate everyday piece, but rather a statement jewel with strong character.
