Narrow gold bangles were particularly popular in the last years of Queen Victoria's reign. The small hallmark on the underside of the clasp, which also tells us that the bangle was made from 18-karat gold, shows that it also comes from Great Britain. In addition to the high fineness of the piece of jewelry, it has an overlay of fine gold, which makes its surface appear matt and buttery. This type of work is also known in England as "bloomed gold". This matt, fine gold-colored appearance was particularly appreciated at the end of the 19th century, as it reminded people of the goldsmith's work of classical antiquity, which was now filling museum display cases thanks to ever new excavations. Our piece of jewelry also features classical motifs: no laurel tendrils are placed together with corded ribbons in a decorative, diagonal pattern on the front of the hoop, playing with the incident light. This beautiful hoop from around 1890 came to us here in Berlin.
