Victorian Aesthetic Gold Bracelet in the Egyptian Taste

About the Item

Circa 1870s, 18k. This spellbinding hardstone bracelet is a superb example of Egyptian revival jewelry, featuring carved hardstone scarabs punctuated by eighteen-karat gold pillars. Absolutely one of a kind, its mystique will add intrigue to any look. Whether worn with ripped jeans or a ball gown, it is a perfect part of an understated narrative that speaks volumes about the individual who wears it. Impeccably made in the 1870s, this sensational piece is in excellent condition. Remarks from Lawrence Jeffrey: “I am in love with this bracelet, I think it is perfect for the glamorous American girl look, the understated version; big sunglasses, jeans, white tee and no other jewelry but this bracelet. Anyone sophisticated enough to notice will be stunned by what they see, and who cares about the rest?!” Noted: Hardstone can be any of the many quartz varietals: jade, granite etc. In this case it is probable that the rough stones were attractive specimens from the estate of the family this piece was made for. This is especially true of families that owned country properties in the north of England or Scotland where interesting stone abounds. Personalizing jewelry, desk accessories, or even furniture with mineral samples from one’s own estate was popular from the Georgian era and well into the Victorian period. Noted: By far the most prolific amulet in ancient Egypt, the scarab was believed to be imbued with particular protective powers that warded off evil and attracted good fortune to the owner in this life and into the next.
