In the late 19th century, one chose and combined one's jewelry according to the occasion. In 1888, for example, one could read the following recommendation in the ladies' journal Bazar: "The evening is approaching, one prepares to visit the glittering reunion [...]. Several bracelets, narrow in gold but set with diamonds, joined by rubies, sapphires and emeralds, are in the right place here" - worn over a glove, of course. During the day, however, for example when visiting a friend, a single bangle of this kind would have been appropriate at most, combined with an insect brooch and small diamond stud earrings. This bangle could have accompanied its first owner on both occasions. Nine glowing red rubies of a wonderfully transparent, color-intensive quality and glittering, clear diamonds form the showpiece. Set in warm reddish gold, the gemstones form an elegant composition: a simple row of alternating gemstones, securely set by delicate prongs. The bangle is in very good condition. A small safety chain prevents it from accidentally slipping off the arm - whether on a gala evening or at tea time with friends. The bangle came to us from the south of Germany.
