Bracelets came into fashion in the last third of the 19th century, replacing the stiffer bangles of the previous decades. Bracelets made of solid gold were now also popular. Following spectacular gold discoveries in California and the English colony of Australia, the precious metal was much more readily available than at the beginning of the 19th century. This led to a veritable boom in gold jewelry, which became affordable for the first time for a wider section of the population. This piece also dates from this era. The bracelet is made from high-carat gold that has been crafted in two different alloy colors. The bracelet consists of links that are flexibly connected to each other and wrap softly around the wrist. Four rings are artfully intertwined with each other. They feature decorative fluting and a darker shade of gold. Clasps made of lighter, slightly greenish gold, the surfaces of which are decorated with engraved floral motifs, hold the rings together in the middle. According to the hallmark, the piece of jewelry was made in Lyon, France, and dates to around 1880. The bracelet found its way to us here in Berlin, is in very good condition and also looks wonderfully nostalgic on the wrist!
