About the Item

This stylish black glass bangle is an entirely original, elegant antiques. Condition Report: Excellent The Details... This bangle is constructed from sections of curved metal painted black and assembled to form a wraparound design. The bangle is studded with round, faceted, French Jet cabochons. The internal diameter of the bangle is 5.5cm, making the internal circumference 17.28cm. However, because of its wraparound design, the bangle is slightly expandable. A Short History... Glass has been a prevalent feature in costume pieces since the invention of jewellery, as it is an easily accessible material that can be formed into any shape and dyed any colour. Elaborately faceted panels of black glass, known as French Jet, were developed for jewellery making in the mid to late 1800s in order to replicate the more costly and rare Whitby Jet. Black jewellery was popularised in the 1800s by Queen Victoria, who, after the death of her beloved Prince Albert, insisted on only wearing black. People wanted to emulate the style of their Queen. Wear it With... French jet looks fabulous with white t-shirts. The multi-faceted and intricate design of these earrings would work particularly well with crisp white tones.
