How perfectly Victorian!
This is a Victorian Revival Bracelet crafted sometime in the late 1930's to early 1940's. The design incorporates traditional Victorian book-links, gorgeous red enamel work and fantastic dimensional floral work capped with faceted glass rubies and diamonds. It is a truly perfect copy of the high-end designs produced in the Romantic period (1837-1860). The bracelet fits a 6” wrist perfectly, and is in excellent vintage condition.
The Victorian Romantic Period:
The early years of the Victorian era reflected the youth of the new Queen. This was a time of courtship and marriage for Victoria. Nostalgia for the Middle Ages was rampant in England. Tournaments were reenacted, organized groups and clubs toured historical buildings to learn the difference 2024 between Gothic and Norman and those involved in the arts adopted the Middle Ages in their designs. Themes inspired by the Renaissance and the Middle Ages were everywhere in jewelry design and motifs from nature dominated the period. Bouquets of flowers, branches, leaves, grapes and berries were conspicuously featured in jewelry. Symbolism associated with flowers was prominently in evidence.
