Here is a gorgeous very wide sterling silver, rose and green gold antique bangle that was made in the 1890's and will always look amazing no matter where or when it is worn.
Measuring 3.2cm wide, the bangle is highlighted with rose and green gold. Gold can be alloyed with other metals resulting in different colours being produced. Rose gold is made by primarily adding copper to the gold when being alloyed resulting in the lovely warm tone to it, and today green gold is made by adding silver to the gold, however the green colour is more a soft green-yellow colour. Years ago 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 here to highlight the leaves in the design. With the two colours of gold working perfectly to highlight the floral design, this will not only be admired on the wrist, but also be such a wonderful talking point.
Fitted with a safety chain for added security, this is a spectacular antique bangle that is 130 years old yet still in superb condition.
