ca 1860 15K Gold and Garnet Bracelet

Price on Request

A rare survivor from the mid-Victorian era, this circa 1860 bracelet is crafted in 15K gold — the distinctly British standard of the period, prized for its rich, warm tone. The bracelet is built with remarkable dimension: a series of vertical, rounded gold rods, joined edge to edge, creating a supple, articulated cuff that moves fluidly around the wrist. Set at intervals along its face, cabochon garnets glow with a deep, wine-dark saturation, each cradled in a bezel framed by delicate twisted-rope borders, a signature motif of Victorian goldwork. Even the clasp is finished with a matching garnet, while a fine safety chain — an authentic period detail — offers quiet reassurance. The combination of sculptural gold texture and moody, romantic color captures the drama and craftsmanship of the 1860s, making this a genuine collector's piece, as wearable today as it was 160 years ago.
