As the most valuable of the British colonies, the Indian subcontinent was the pride of the United Kingdom, the "crown jewel of the Empire". Numerous Britons were drawn to the land in the East to try their luck here and share in the fabulous wealth of the subcontinent. The jewelry industry of the Victorian era was also closely interwoven with the Indian colonies: Precious, colorful gemstones were not only exported from the Indian mines to Great Britain - the British also had jewellery made locally by Indian goldsmiths in the style of their homeland and, in turn, traditional Indian jewellery influenced the jewellery of Europe. This bracelet is a piece of jewellery made in India. It is relatively wide at around 5.5 cm and is made of lightly gold-plated silver. It has an unusual design, as two end pieces, one with a smooth finish and the other with a multi-pass design, show identical floral motifs, while the bracelet itself consists of slightly curved silver strips set close together. The whole thing is held together by leather straps that run along the inside of the end pieces and around which the slats of the middle piece are simply wrapped. The construction is simple and yet successful, so the individual parts fall comfortably and the strap has a nice flexibility. We date the piece of jewellery to the middle of the 20th century, and it was probably brought back from a trip. It came to us from an impressive collection in Stuttgart.
