Rare antique illusion bangle made in 15 carat gold
Here is a very rare antique illusion bangle made in 15 carat gold that will always be such a wonderful talking point and conversation starter and destined to always be loved and admired. Although it is difficult to see from the images as a camera only has of course one lens compared to our two eyes, the bangle measures 9.3mm all the way around, however when the bangle is rotated around and viewed, the bangle appears to get wider and thinner as it turns around thanks to the optical illusion created by the design. Made in the early 1900's, this is a wonderful example that shows that not all antique jewellery was staid and monotonous and the colour of the 15 carat has that wonderful warm rose tone that is so much beautiful that the strong coppery pink of rose gold today. Regardless of the design, thanks to the colour of hte gold, this bangle looks amazing on the wrist. Fitted with a safety chain for added security, this is a wonderful and fun example of antique jewellery that will always bring a smile to the faces of all who see it. Stock# ES8495 Circa: 1910 $3,600

Sterling silver Art Deco guilloché enamel arm bangle made in the 1920’s
Perfect for any time of the day or night as well as any occasion, there is no doubt that this sterling silver Art Deco guilloché enamel arm bangle made in the 1920's will always be admired thanks for the beautiful enamel as well as its colour. Going back to the 18th Century, guilloché is a decorative technique in which a very precise and repetitive pattern is engraved into an underlying material such as gold or silver and then the enamel applied over the top. After the firing process is completed, it is polished back to a high lustre revealing the engraved pattern below the surface as can be seen in this bangle. The pattern is really captivating and the enamel has such a wonderful tactile feel to it, and of course this wonderful powder blue colour is just amazing. Measuring 8.7mm wide, the internal diameter measures 7cm across which will allow it to sit higher up the arm than just on the wrist and gives that reminiscent look of the fabulous Art Deco period of the 1920's. With the enamel still in wonderful condition, this is a very beautiful and attractive example of a genuine Art Deco bangle that will always be loved. Stock# ES8442 Circa: 1920 $1,850

Extremely rare antique Japanese shakudo bangle made in the 19th Century
Shakudo jewellery has become increasingly popular and sought after in recent years, and here is an extremely rare antique Japanese shakudo bangle made in the 19th Century that is unlike anything that we have ever had. To begin with, Shakudo is an alloy of gold and copper, having around 4 to 10% gold and 90 to 96% copper, and was originally designed for swords such as the katana, and after the end of the samurai class grew obsolete, the shakudo masters turned their attention to jewellery. This amazing bangle weighs a touch over an incredible 150 grams and measures 37.5mm wide, and feels truly amazing and unlike anything that you could imagine as well as being so incredibly tactile to the touch. As you roll your fingers across the bangle, it will take you to another place and time and this will certainly continue to be such a wonderful talking point every time that it is worn. The design and artwork that adorns the bangle will truly capture the eye from near or far, and the time that would have gone into making this bangle would have been immense. With scenes of warriors, temples and monks, the reverse side is hand engraved in a very old Kanji (Japanese letters) with the lower part saying "Tokyo". Although it is also engraved "1950" this bangle was made much earlier in the 1860's. With a ingenious clasp design, being hinged will allow this to sit nice and close to the wrist where it will always be admired and commented on. This bangle is truly like no other and is just amazing from every single angle. Stock# ES8502cc Circa: 1860 $8,800

Antique hinged pearl bangle dating from the early 1900’s
Antique jewellery was so often well thought out to the smallest details and this can be seen here in this lovely antique hinged pearl bangle dating from the early 1900's. Not only is the design alone of the bangle so attractive with the gold work wrapping around the front like tendrils, and not only are they set with a total of twenty two seen pearls, but the pearls themselves graduate so elegantly from a mere 1mm in size to 2.2mm. When you look close at the section at the front for example with the curved parts on each side of the front, the pearls graduate in size perfectly highlighting not only the design, but the thought and care that went into making this bangle all those years ago. At the front the bangle measures 12.5mm wide and tapers sleekly to 6.5mm wide at the back and because it is hinged, this allows it to sit nice and close to the wrist. Fitted with a safety chain for added security, this is a wonderful example of an antique bangle that is over 100 years old and can still easily be worn every day. Stock# ES8347 Circa: 1910 $2,900
