Ruby Heart Bangle Bracelet Enamel Gold Stacking Cuff
Designer: J DAUPHIN
The Ruby Heart Bangle is handcrafted in 14k gold plated brass with a hand inlaid black enamel surface, centred on a sculptural heart set with a ruby. It has a hinged construction for a secure fit. Available in sterling silver or with alternative enamel and stone combinations on request.
The heart set with a red stone is the oldest form of the love token, carried through the Victorian posy and sentimental tradition as a pledge worn on the body, given to hold a bond in a single object. Ruby was the stone chosen for it because red is the colour of the blood and the life in it, worn since antiquity for courage, devotion, and vital force, long believed to hold an inextinguishable inner fire. The black enamel around it is the mourning-and-memory tradition's sign of remembrance and constancy, so the piece pairs the heat of the ruby with the depth of the black, passion held inside something that keeps.
