Antique Gold Bangle with Old Cut Diamond, British, c. 1900

From the beginning of the second half of the 19th century, goldsmiths were often inspired by antique jewelry, not only from the Renaissance, but also from ancient peoples such as the Assyrians and Etruscans. But it did not stop at simple copying: Modern jewellery was soon enriched with the techniques and ornaments learned in this way, modified and combined in completely new ways. The present bangle was made from 15-karat gold. It originally still had an overlay of fine gold, which makes it appear rich gold and matt in places - just as pieces of jewelry from antiquity were imagined in the 19th century. Today, this fine gold plating has largely given way to a beautiful rose gold surface. In the centerpiece, we see a beautiful old-cut diamond set in a star-shaped setting. Delicate, wrapped gold ornaments are set to the left and right of the diamond section, and small gold spheres are reminiscent of granulations known from Etruscan jewellery. The resulting splendid, eclectic look is a completely new creation - one that could not have been found at any other time than the end of the 19th century, when such nostalgic forms continued to exist alongside more modern ones, particularly in England. The bangle is in good condition and its delicate format makes it comfortable to wear in everyday life. We can date it not least by comparing it with other hallmarked and dated bangles from England, particularly from Chester, which we have been able to offer in the past.
