DATE: Victorian, c.1860

Spectacular High Victorian buckle bangle dating from the 1860s. Probably the nicest buckle bangle I've ever seen... Wonderfully ornate, it features three-tone 18k gold, a single natural pearl, elaborate openwork centre, and a gorgeous folate border and detailing. Plus it's quadruple hinged, which is somewhat unusual (although definitely in keeping with its elaborate design). The epitome of mid 19th century French style and craftsmanship.
