Details
Dating to the late 19th Century, this exquisite antique Victorian gate bracelet is a superb example of Victorian sentiment beautifully crafted in warm 9ct yellow gold that has developed a rich rosy patina with age. Intricately woven gate links create a wonderfully fluid and delicate design, connected with larger cross-shaped terminals that form a flowing row of romantic “kisses”. It evokes the classic “Toi et Moi” (You and Me) sentiment, with each cross set with an alternating duo of bright green peridots, symbolising happiness and new beginnings, and cherry-pink almandine garnets, long associated with love and devotion.
This romantic antique gate bracelet has clearly been loved and cherished across the centuries and has remained in excellent condition thanks to its reliable box clasp and safety chain. Gift it to a loved one and let its beauty and enduring romance continue into the next century.
