Victorian 18ct Gold and Seed Pearl Floral Hinged Bangle, Circa 1870
7256
A beautiful Victorian hinged bangle in 18ct yellow gold, dating to circa 1870. The elegant bracelet is decorated with a floral design set with delicate seed pearls, combining the warmth of richly coloured gold with the soft, luminous lustre for which Victorian pearl jewellery is so admired.
The finely worked floral motif reflects the Victorian love of naturalistic ornament, when flowers and foliage carried strong associations with sentiment, beauty, and remembrance. Its graceful design creates a balanced decorative effect across the wrist, while the seed pearls lend texture and a subtle light-catching quality without overwhelming the gold setting.
Made with a hinged opening for ease of wear, the bangle has the satisfying presence and craftsmanship expected of a fine 19th-century jewel. Its classic oval form sits elegantly on the wrist and makes it as wearable today as it would have been in the Victorian period.
A charming and versatile example of Victorian gold jewellery, equally suited to everyday wear, special occasions, or as part of an antique jewellery collection. The combination of 18ct yellow gold, floral decoration, and seed pearls gives this piece an enduringly romantic character.
