Victorian era antique bangle in sterling silver and highlighted with rose and green gold
$1,350.00
Here is a wonderful antique bangle that was made over 130 years ago, and still looks as beautiful today as when it was made.
Dating from the late-Victorian period of the 1890’s, the bangle measures 21.5mm wide and being hinged allows it to sit lovely and close to the wrist.
Made in sterling silver, not only is it hand engraved and designed with three birds, but they are highlighted in rose and green gold.
Gold can be made in different colours by being alloyed with other metals, such as to produce rose gold, it is made by primarily adding more copper to the gold when being alloyed, and today although not very common, green gold is made by adding silver and/or zinc and copper to the gold, however the green colour is more a soft green-yellow colour. However in the late 1800’s, cadmium was added resulting in a stronger colour, and while never a strong green such as yellow or white gold, the tone of green in antique pieces is more pronounced and is used perfectly to be used as a contrast such as with this bangle.
The use of rose gold adds so much charm to this bangle, and the use of green gold really elevates it to an entirely new level.
This bangle is still in wonderful condition and can so easily be worn during the day and well into the night for that special occasion.
