Forms that were once found in the field of goldsmithing and appealed to customers were often varied again and again over the decades. The present bangle is an example of this: although its hallmark shows that it was made in Chester in 1902, its ornamentation corresponds to pieces of historicist jewellery from the 1880s. From the beginning of the second half of the 19th century, goldsmiths were often inspired by antique jewellery, not only from the Renaissance, but even from ancient peoples such as the Assyrians and Etruscans. But it was not just a case of simple copying: Soon modern jewellery was also enriched with the techniques and ornaments learned in this way, modified and combined in completely new ways. The present bangle is made of 15-karat gold with a fine gold overlay, which gives it a rich, matt golden appearance. Its centrepiece features five old-cut diamonds set in diamond-shaped settings. Two coiled gold bands are set to the left and right of the diamond section and small gold beads are reminiscent of granulations as seen in Etruscan jewellery. The resulting splendid, eclectic look is itself a completely new creation that could not have been found at any other time than in the late 19th century - and even in the early 20th century, when such nostalgic forms continued to exist for a short time alongside more modern ones, especially in England. The bangle is in very good condition and its delicate format makes it comfortable to wear in everyday life. The bangle came to us from the south of England.
