Romantic bracelets are a typically British invention. Always ready to give beauty and romance a place in everyday life despite the proverbial stiff upper lip, the fashion for meaningful bracelets flourished like no other jewelry phenomenon in Great Britain in the decades around 1900. Bracelets with colored gemstones shining in the warm glow of gold were particularly popular - they are still treasured gifts today. The shapes of the designs were much more varied than they are today. The bracelet presented here is one such bracelet with an unusual structure. It consists of movably linked elements that are reminiscent of hearts open at the bottom and connected by delicate clasps. A flower shape is embedded in the center. The band itself and the center of the blossom are set with eleven Persian turquoises in delicate bezel settings. With its light blue colour, the turquoise is reminiscent of the flowers of the forget-me-not - and it is precisely in this literal function that it was often used in pieces of jewellery: as a symbol of loving remembrance. This romantic piece of jewellery originated in England around c. 1900. A look at contemporary jewelry catalogs shows just how widespread this type of bracelet was at the time. We show a page from the 1901 catalog of the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company in London, which presents various designs.
