It’s a skilled and time-intensive process, and increasingly difficult to find in such well-preserved, clearly defined condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between the cool-toned silver and the warm rose gold gives the piece a beautifully balanced look, while the generous width and clean, rounded form lend it a strong, confident profile on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighing a substantial 43.7 grams, the bangle is crafted in heavy-gauge sterling silver and designed to sit comfortably and securely. It features a hinge to one side and a discreet push-button clasp with an internal shovel catch, fastening with a satisfying click.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA striking and highly wearable piece of Victorian craftsmanship, substantial, tactile, and rich in antique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE DETAILS~\u003cbr\u003e\nMATERIALS: sterling silver, 9ct gold\u003cbr\u003e\nMEASUREMENTS: measures 1-1\/2\"\/4cm wide.
