Details
Fall in love with this exquisite antique Victorian bracelet, a rare turn-of-the-century treasure crafted in sterling silver with a bright 18ct yellow gold finish. Fully hallmarked in Birmingham by renowned silversmiths Pearce & Thompson, this exceptional statement bracelet features a substantial, articulated woven chain with beaded texturing. At its centre is an ornate barrel clasp, beautifully decorated with delicate filigree flowers and turquoise cabochons, while a charming puffed heart pendant dangles from the end.
Dating to 1901, this romantic piece was created at the fascinating crossroads between the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Rich in symbolism, turquoise was traditionally associated with the Victorian “forget-me-not” - a symbol of enduring love and remembrance – that pairs fittingly alongside the heart charm. It was almost certainly gifted as a romantic token and has been loved, preserved and passed down through the centuries.
Preserved in excellent condition, this rare Edwardian bracelet would make a wonderful addition to a growing antique jewellery collection, or an unforgettable gift for a loved one, continuing its long, romantic legacy.
