Like all objects, bangles are also subject to constant changes in fashion. Whereas in the 1860s and 1870s people preferred to wear wide bracelets and bangles with a large centrepiece that harmonized in proportion with the large hoop skirts of the time, in the 1880s and 1890s people increasingly preferred narrow bangles that were in keeping with the slimmer silhouette of the time. Towards the turn of the century, when the shapes of dress fashion became more natural and flowing, softly flowing bracelets made of delicate links finally began to be favored. The design shown here is typical of the years around 1890 and already shows the delicately curved form that would come to full fruition a little later in Art Nouveau. In fact, we can date it quite precisely thanks to a special joint: The bangle bears an engraving on the inside with the number of its patented design, the so-called Registered Design. This number tells us that the design is British and was first registered in 1890. Of course, it is possible that this design was produced for several more years, as long as it was in line with the latest fashion and sold well. The materials of the bangle are also very British. It is made of gold, a warm shimmering red gold, with a yellow gold front in which numerous small pearls are set. They set the two central curves close together, as well as a flower whose pistil is formed by a diamond. We were able to discover this beautiful bangle in London. A wonderful testimony to Victorian elegance.
