This Antique Victorian Bangle Bracelet exudes Quality and is
truly gorgeous in its design and styling being wide, thick and heavy. The top features a cloud shaped cartouche not
yet engraved with a monogram – Very Rare! – flanked by a beautifully fashioned
Acanthus foliate design. The attention to detail is amazing.
The back and interior are plain and smooth and the clasp is
opened by pushing the tab down firmly.
Its hidden hinge is perfect and the clasp snaps closed securely.
