A beautiful and very feminine antique moonstone and turquoise bracelet dating to around 1830, so a late Georgian to early Victorian piece. Made in sterling silver that is heavily gilded in high carat gold the bracelet features 5 hand-carved orbs of misty ethereal moonstone beads flanked by carved gold 'pomander' balls that are set in vibrant blue turquoise gemstones. The bracelet fastens with a slide clasp that is set in another moonstone.
The mysterious moonstone represents feminine energy and new beginnings. An all round exquisite example of Georgian craftsmanship, this unique bracelet will grace any antique
jewellery collection!
DETAILS:
METAL: 18ct gold gilt (gold gilded sterling silver)
GEMSTONE: Presidium tested; round moonstone beads roughly 12.5mm diameter (they all vary slightly in size), round turquoise cabochons approx. 3.25mm diameter
MEASUREMENTS: length 8"/20.5cm
WEIGHT: 21.9 grams
DATE: circa 1830, Georgian
CONDITION: in very good antique condition showing just light surface wear and a little tarnish as expected. The gold gilding is still a luxurious bright yellow with no discoloration. One moonstone bead next to the clasp is a few millimetres smaller than its bigger sisters, pardonable evidence of her age and hand-crafted nature!
