This
is a stunning antique Victorian gold bracelet, crafted
in a delicate crossover bypass motif. The upper polished
squared terminals are prong set with old Mine cut diamonds,
and the upper shoulders of this lovely work of art are
detailed with Etruscan gold bead work of the highest
quality. This lovely bracelet has been remarkably well
preserved.
The
gold is not marked, but has been thoroughly tested throughout
the entire piece and tests positive for 18K. Total gold
weight - 14.1 grams. There are minor surface scratches
on this bracelet, as well as some slight age patina
near the upper terminals. I will leave the decision
to clean or polish to the new owner.
The
upper squared areas of the crossover motif measure 1/2"
each. Inset in hand crafted buttercup prong settings
are Old Mine cut diamonds, total weight as measured
in settings approximately 1/2 carat, with each diamond
just under 1/4 carat as measured.
Diamonds:
3.95 x 3.7 x 2.7 mm depth - estimated weight .23 carat
and 4.0 x 3.75 x 2.7 mm depth with estimated weight
of .24 carat. Weights as measured: .47 carat twt. They
are both of very high color grade, H or better, and
VS2 to SI1 internally. One diamond has a small visible
natural on the girdle edge. Because of their high crown
height and cushion shapes, weights are provisional based
upon difficulty of measurement in their settings.
The
bracelet circumference is 7 1/2", with an inside
wrist diameter measurement of 2". This smaller
wrist size is quite typical of antique Victorian jewelry
as the average wrist size of Victorian women was indeed
much smaller than today. The thickness of the bracelet
bangle measures 5.0 mm.
The
inside lower edge of the bangle near the hinge is marked
with a cartouche. It reads: Pat. Nov 12, '78. (1878).
