About the Item

A distinctive 10 karat yellow gold chain bracelet from the Victorian era, designed in the Archaeological Revival style that flourished during the mid-to-late 19th century. Measuring 7 inches in length, this piece is adorned with eighteen deep purple glass beads and a luminous 8 x 9mm emerald-cut purple glass centerpiece. It fastens with a hidden box tongue clasp and features a 2.5-inch gold tassel, adding graceful movement and texture. The Archaeological Revival movement drew inspiration from ancient Greek, Roman, and Etruscan jewelry, fueled by the era’s fascination with newly uncovered antiquities. Artisans of the time embraced classical motifs and goldsmithing techniques to create pieces that celebrated the elegance and mystery of the ancient world. This bracelet, with its rich hues and refined detailing, reflects the Victorian passion for history, symbolism, and romanticism. Stamped "10K" and weighing 9.26 grams, it is a beautiful example of 19th-century design and craftsmanship, blending historical influence with decorative charm.
