This magnificent bangle is clearly reminiscent of the 1850s: a stylized motif taken from nature, midnight blue enamelling on a rich gold background, glittering diamond roses and a voluminous and resplendent design. However, the bangle was created much later, probably in the 1930s, as its hallmark, details of its workmanship and, not least, a look at the history of jewellery show. The base of the bangle shows similarities to pieces of the so-called retro style of the 1930s to 1950s in its use of round gold tubes and architectural volume. In fact, the mid-19th century became a symbol of the "good old days" by the 1930s at the latest. When electricity, cars and modern architecture had long since become an integral part of the cityscape, the aesthetic world of the early Victorian period offered a decorative alternative for all those who preferred a more classic, familiar style to avant-garde Art Deco. The result was nostalgic jewellery inspired by the Victorian era, even the Rococo period. The advantage? The bangle is much more wearable and better preserved than most pieces from the 1850s - and yet, even by the strictest definition, it will itself be antique within a decade at the latest. The result is a wonderful piece of jewellery that combines the stability of its recent date with the aesthetics of times long past.
