Flowing gold bracelets made of ornamental links enjoyed great popularity at the turn of the century before last. Like many other innovations in the field of jewellery, they satisfied the need for softer and more supple shapes, after the jewellery of the previous generation, which was often perceived as too rigid and bulky. In December 1897, one could read in the influential magazine The Bazaar: "How invigorating, for example, genuine, artistically executed gold jewelry is for the toilet! For bracelets, the chain form is accepted on average; solid hoops are only rarely made." This bracelet is a beautiful and typical representative of that transnational fashion. A showpiece of five flower-like knots, alternately set with turquoise and pearls, is presented on a softly flowing curb bracelet. As with so many pieces of jewellery from the late Victorian period, a romantic message can also be read here: Knot motifs were considered symbols of the indissoluble bond between friends and lovers, while turquoises were considered the stones of true love and were associated with forget-me-nots due to their color. The bracelet is in good condition and came to us from London. It was also created in Great Britain. It can be worn carefree thanks to a safety chain. The quote from Der Bazar, Illustrirte Damen-Zeitschrift, 43rd vol. (December 13, 1897).
