Victorian Sapphire Bangle with Pearls

About the Item

This Victorian pink & blue sapphire bangle with pearls was created in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It features 5 natural heated royal blue sapphires and five natural heated pink sapphires. Or rubies. There's enough red in these stones to legitimately call them rubies. But to me, they're too pink to be rubies. The colorful stones are complemented by the cool, luminous luster of fine cultured saltwater pearls. Five 2.5mm pearls along each earm of the bangle and then three in the center: 4.97mm, 6.01mm, and 4.81mm These pearls are of superior quality: round, thick nacre, perfectly matched for size. These are the very finest cultured pearls that were available and would still today be graded as the highest quality. The goldsmithing on this bangle is excellent. It is both fully engraved and detailed and also fully handmade. It's an individual piece, not something made by a machine. Even the pink and blue sapphires were cut by hand. When you open the bangle at first, the hinge might feel loose. But under the microscope, you see that the hinge was -so incredibly thoughtfully- over-built. The gold rubbing against the gold has made the hinge a bit looser than it was when it was new. But it is no less durable. The closer you look at this bangle, the more beautiful it is. Happily, it's plenty magnificent at arm's length. The 59mm x 50mm interior diameter means the bangle will fit a small and a medium wrist. There is a safety chain and the perfectly tight clasp also has a safety catch.
