In the early 20th century, the wearing of jewellery, like almost every aspect of life, was subject to stricter rules than it is today. Jewelry made of gold and pearls or so-called semi-precious stones was worn for elegant occasions during the day, such as a matinée, an afternoon tea or a reception. Young, unmarried women were also allowed to wear such jewellery, which is why it was a welcome gift to bridesmaids. Large colored stones, long pearl necklaces and magnificent diamonds, on the other hand, were only taken out of the jewelry box in the evening. This bangle was therefore a piece of jewelry for the young lady's everyday elegance. With its heart motif, richly set with small pearls, and the very narrow hoop, it was very much in keeping with contemporary taste in the mid-1890s. Compare, for example, the advertisement of the London jewelers Wilson & Gill from 1894 (see last illustration) on the fashion for hearts, seed pearls and narrow bracelets with some pieces that are explicitly advertised here as gifts for bridesmaids and for weddings. According to its design, the bangle was probably made in Great Britain. We were able to discover it in London. Due to its small circumference, it is only suitable for narrow wrists.
