A beautiful antique Victorian sterling silver bangle bracelet with exceptional engraving on the front in an exquisite belt and buckle design. A lost art, you just don't see this highly skilled level of engraving these days!
Lovely quality the bracelet is crafted on the oval in fairly thick gauge silver and has rolled edges to the top and bottom for added strength. It has a hinge on one side and a hidden shovel clasp on the other with a ridged push button catch.
The charming belt & buckle motif is a recurring theme in Victorian jewelry and was thought to render safety, security and protection to the wearer. A gorgeous piece, steeped in loving sentiment!
