Description

A Victorian emerald and half pearl gold bracelet, the emerald and pearl cluster centrally-set with a square-cut faceted emerald estimated to weigh ½ carat, surrounded by alternating clusters of square-cut emeralds and half pearls, the emeralds estimated to weigh a further total of 2½ carats, mounted in yellow gold with closed back setting and gold bead finials, to a tapering gold barrel bracelet with concealed clasp and safety chain, circa 1840, measuring approximately 3cm in diameter, measuring approximately 17.5cm in total, gross weight 60.5 grams.

A charming Victorian bracelet. This bracelet features a lively and verdant emerald at its centre, surrounded by seed pearls and square cut emeralds to form a romantic cluster. The combination of pearls with stones such as emeralds was popular in Victorian sentimental jewellery. The emeralds in this bracelet contrast wonderfully with the soft and feminine pearls, creating a romantic statement. Quintessentially Victorian, in its rich yellow gold and opulent design, this would make an eye-catching piece, suitable even for everyday wear.
