Antique 18carat gold, enamel and ruby bracelet. Victorian - Edwardian - made 19th - early 20th century. <P><P>
Total length is 7 3/4 inches. Weighs 26 grams. <P><P>
Bracelet consists of alternating gold-enamel and ruby sections. The rubies are set in the form of little flowers, 5 stones to a flower. The enamel-gold links
are oval with pointed ends. Lower borders are textured in a diagonal pattern. Above this the domed top is covered with rich blue enamel, which in turn is
overlaid with a tiny, delicate pattern of flowers and foliage. Bracelet has a safety chain for further protection. Beautiful workmanship and great quality is
shown not only on the upper side, but underneath, the skill of the maker can be seen. <P><P>
The bracelet is hallmarked on both sides of the clasp. One side simply has engraved 18 and 750 for 18 carat gold. The other side has a maker's initials RHB,
also 18 750 and a triangle and slightly angled N. We do not know whether these are Russian initials or European.<P><P>
Very good condition. THere is no damage/wear to the enamel or any other part of the bracelet. <P><P> |
