Antique Victorian era 14carat gold and lapis lazuli bracelet. French, circa 1860-1880. Weighs over 45 grams. Width of band is 7/8 inches. Diameter of round front is over 1 1/4 inches. Circumference approx 7 inches. Fabulous example of French interest in Classic Revival / Neo Etruscan jewellery coinciding with archaelogical discoveries of the 19th century. Ribbed band in segments with twisted wire work and granulation in gold. The front is a round, gently arching disk echoing the decoration of the band (but granules are larger), and with a large cabochon lapis lazuli blue gemstone in the center. Workmanship is of the highest standard, with minute hinges at the joints between segments. The luxurious quality of the bracelet is indicated by the securing mechanisms: a safety chain; a locking mechanism to the clasp that involves the turning of a dial to secure/open and cannot therefore fall open accidentally. There are a number of marks on the bracelet: the tongue of the clasp has a diamond-shaped lozenge with AL&Co over a lion passant with a curling tail; Another hallmark is probably a French assay mark. The dial has a central L surrounde by a somewhat worn name BR?ETE G & CO - tantalising close but not entirely legible (see ''photos). We tested the gold to make sure it is at least 14 carat. Very good condition. Status: For Sale Reference#: 3755 Condition: good Year: 1860 Title: ANTIQUE FRENCH NEO CLASSIC GOLD & LAPIS LAZULI BRACELET   « Less
