This bracelet is luxurious and heavy: Weighing 21.7 g, it wraps around the arm. Its rich, warm glowing hue makes it easy to understand why alchemy once regarded the sun as the symbol of gold and the philosopher's stone, which was supposed to transform base metals into gold. But the goldsmiths of the 19th century knew yet another trick to make gold appear even richer: the so-called bloom finish, an additional fine gilding. This piece also shines in that velvety golden tone that characterizes the most beautiful Victorian gold jewelry. The bracelet is crafted as a garland of flowers that flow gently around the arm. Three large, fully open flowers are the showpieces, a slightly smaller one hides the clasp - so the bracelet is still decorative even when it is turning on the arm. In between, the links consist of moving, stylized flowers, the spaces between which are filled with pearls. In any case, the entire surface is studded with pearls, which are lined up close together and add their incomparable luster to the soft glow of the gold. The bracelet is a high-quality piece of jewellery typical of the late Victorian era, when softly flowing bracelets were gradually preferred to rigid bangles. We discovered it in London. It was probably also created in England, where there was a particular fondness for jewellery made of gold and seed pearls.
