A beautifully preserved Victorian silver bangle, fully hallmarked for 1889, with crisp hand engraving that has mellowed just enough over time to create that unmistakable soft antique glow.
The front is delicately adorned with a romantic pairing of rose and forget-me-not motifs, symbols of enduring love and remembrance—woven together in a graceful, flowing design that catches the light with every movement. The reverse is left plain, allowing the engraving to take centre stage. A beautifully wearable antique you’ll reach for daily
Elegant in scale and oval in form, it is designed to sit close to the wrist for a refined, feminine fit, particularly lovely on a slender wrist or layered snugly within a curated stack. The softly rolled edges add both strength and comfort, while the hinged construction and discreet shovel clasp close with a satisfying, secure click.
An effortlessly wearable piece of Victorian charm, bringing a soft note of antique romance to everyday dressing or a beautifully layered wrist.
