Early Victorian 14K Gold Padlock Garnet Heart Clasp Rolo Link Bracelet

About the Item

Circa the 1840’s, the centerpiece of this 14k gold bracelet is a heart shape padlock clasp with a garnet carbuncle. The oval cabochon has a high profile and blood red glow—the gold backing behind the stone gives it a warm luminescence that shines through as the stone moves in the light. The garnet is prong set and surrounded by a viney leaf motif that intertwines with the prongs and is reminiscent of Sleeping Beauty’s rose garden labyrinth. The padlock is also a locket with a back panel that pops out to hold a picture. The locket is clasped onto a beautiful rolo link bracelet, handmade with incredible repoussé—each link was pounded onto a mold and then bent into circular links patterned with flowers and vines. The bracelet is 8 1/4” and weighs 19 grams. The extra length allows the heart padlock to dangle on the wrist. The bracelet and padlock test as 14k gold. The garnet carbuncle measures 11.5 x 7.5 x 7.5 mm. The piece is in great shape for its age, with some minor wear to some of the links. The heart padlock has a push button to open and pops shut. The padlock measures 5/8” x 1 1/8”.

  • Victorian 14K Gold Cannetille Etruscan Revival Bracelet
    Located in Venice, CA
    A beautiful 14k yellow gold bracelet from the Etruscan Revival period, circa 1880. The bracelet is exquisitely hand-made and is a fine example of cannetille gold work, which is similar to filigree work with fine gold wires that curl around thinly hammered sheets. Cannetille gold work was inspired by embroidery and nature. The repeating curling designs on each segment of the bracelet are harmonious and elegant. The diamond shape of the segment has an oval decoration, framed with gold wirework, and inside this, there is a symmetrical curling design. Each segment measures one inch and the bracelet, made up of six segments, is approximately seven inches. Each segment is hollow, and connected through thick gold links decorated with gold beads. The bracelet feels great when worn, and has a safety chain so that it doesn't fall off. The bracelet weighs a total of 18 grams and is in perfect condition. This bracelet displays the aesthetic tastes of an era of nostalgia and romance. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800s there was a large excavation of Etruscan tombs outside of Rome. Within these tombs were pieces of original Etruscan jewelry. The Etruscans were master artisans, they created breathtaking pieces of jewelry through their use of gold wirework and granulation, colored gemstones and glass. The news of the excavation of these tombs, and the treasures contained inside them, spread throughout Europe. Etruscan style jewelry...
