In the last third of the 19th century, British artists began to question the traditional values of arts and crafts. On the one hand, the aim was to move away from the one-sided emphasis on materiality. It was not only precious jewels in gold that could be beautiful and determine the value of a piece of jewelry - the aesthetic value of a design was to be valued more highly. This resulted in a great deal of silver jewelry that was not reserved for the nobility and wealthy alone. This attitude of giving beauty a value above all others was known as aestheticism or the Aesthetic Movement. This movement, which also wanted to be original in form and design, had already been pioneered by the Pre-Raphaelites and the artists associated with them in the Arts & Crafts movement in the middle of the century. They preached that the artist should not learn his metaphors and symbols by heart at art school, but should find them in nature and in his immediate surroundings. This wide sterling silver bangle takes this requirement into account. Its engravings on the front show a lush carpet of summer blossoms. The bangle is in very good condition and, according to its Hallmarks, was made in 1882 in the workshop of Minshull & Latimer in Birmingham. A typical Victorian piece of jewellery that celebrates faithful love and makes a wonderful gift for a wedding anniversary, for example.
