Victorian Aquamarine Bracelet in Silver and 18ct Rose Gold

A striking silver and 18ct rose gold aquamarine bracelet from the Victorian period. This superb piece showcases summer sky blue aquamarine gemstones that have been set into closed back silver settings. These have been backed in rose gold to ensure that tarnish would not mark the skin or expensive fabrics. Bracelets and bangles became hugely popular during the Victorian period, when it became fashionable to wear multiple examples on each wrist. This was influenced by Queen Victoria and her royal relatives, who dictated styles and tastes to the Empire at large.
