Even in the earlier times, fashions changed with beautiful regularity, as they do today. The history of jewelry knows as many fashions as generations in the hundred years between 1800 and 1900. At the beginning and end of the century, for example, white jewelry was in demand, richly set with diamonds. In the 1860s and 1870s, on the other hand, fashion called for bold colors, intense colored stones, and polished surfaces of yellow gold. The bracelet here is a fine example of this love of color, presenting three wonderful amethysts in yellow gold. The three stones are held by narrow bezels surrounded by a twisted cord and four times each three small spheres of gold. Staggered in size, they are set on a narrow, plain hoop that makes them almost float. The clasp of the hoop is placed under one of the amethysts: You simply hook the hoop there, which requires a little practice, but holds very securely. The decorative forms of the settings, the balls and cords of gold, refer to the jewelry world of antiquity. Spectacular archaeological finds in Italy had first made known jewellery of the mysterious people of the Etruscans in Tuscany in the 19th century, which meant decisive impulses for the goldsmiths of the 1860s and 1870s. Similar elements are therefore found in numerous pieces of jewelry of those years and help to date the settings of the amethysts to that time as well. The actual hoop was created at a later time, probably in the 20th century. The three amethysts in their 19th century settings, which probably came from another piece of jewelry, were placed next to each other and remounted at that time.
