Dating back to the late 1800s, this pair of Victorian "Wedding Bracelets" are a testament to the era's romantic symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship. The bypass silhouette is defined by a masterfully coiled braid band that culminates in exquisite Etruscan-style granulation, offering a flexible and sophisticated fit. A meaningful addition to any curation, this piece captures the archeological romance that made the Etruscan Revival a timeless favorite among collectors.  
Wedding Tradition: In the Victorian era, these were sometimes known as "Wedding Bracelets." Traditionally, a matching pair was given; one was worn upon betrothal and the matching bangle was added after marriage.

    • The Maker: This piece is unsigned, which was standard for many artisanal Victorian workshop pieces. It is a classic example of the Etruscan Revival movement (circa 1860–1890).

      • Notable Characteristics: The bracelet features a coiled braid wrapped band ending in intricate Etruscan granulation—the technique of applying tiny gold spheres to create texture. Its "bypass" or crossover silhouette allowed for a flexible, comfortable fit without a formal clasp

      • Designer/Maker: Unsigned (Victorian Workshop)
