Finely detailed, warmly gleaming gold bracelets were particularly fashionable in the late 19th century. As the ladies' sweeping, soft dresses also provided good protection for the sometimes very elaborately crafted pieces, the finest ornamental ideas could also be realized. In the design of these pieces - as in fashion in general - the forms alternated in ever faster succession throughout the 19th century. Initially, the most diverse styles of the past were revived one after the other, from Gothic and Renaissance to antiquity. Towards the end of the century, goldsmiths gradually moved away from historical forms and a new source of inspiration increasingly came to the fore - nature and the realm of plants. Our bangle also shows this vegetal design language, which would ultimately lead to Art Nouveau. The bangle is made of 14-karat gold and is composed of narrow so-called knife bars. The design widens in the middle and ends in delicate curves and leaves set with glittering diamond roses. They frame the actual highlight of the exquisite piece of jewellery, an enchanting sapphire of a beautiful blue color. The gemstone is cut into an oval cabochon and is beautifully accentuated by an entourage of eleven diamond roses in silver settings. The bangle, which was created around 1890, is in very good condition and came to us from Amsterdam.
