This is a Gorgeous Antique late-Victorian bangle bracelet. It is
Silver (hallmarked) with the front beautifully adorned with slightly raised
floral and engraved foliate motifs. The flowers are accented in Rose Gold while the leaves are engraved
with a pattern making them appear darker than the body of the bangle. The
floral and foliate motifs are framed by a Rose Gold diamond shaped application
and further highlighted by kidney shaped scrolls. Intricate details complete
the decoration to the top. The pictures provide the best description of all.
The back is pain and smooth and the hinge and clasp are in
excellent working order. A safety chain is in place for additional security.
It has that silky smooth feel and the patina expected of quality
antique jewellery.

Antique Condition! It does display evidence of its over one century age
being slightly misshapen at the back (not noticeable on the wrist). There are
no obvious dents and no damage or repairs. It is very attractive - you will be
thrilled with this purchase as it is such much prettier than the pictures show. AT AUCTION
