What's not to love about this wearable gilded garden?
An amazing, wide, and weighty ornate Victorian bangle features an expanse of appliqued and hand-engraved floral motifs.
With rose and green gold over sterling silver, the entire front is a miniature artwork of roses, leaves, stems, and buds.
Rose gold over silver is also applied to create a border and three vignettes for the blooms. Cannonball silver work lines the top and bottom of the front half.
In its original box, lined with deep purple velvet and deep cerulean blue silk, this alone would sell for $300.
Highly polished, the back is smooth and reflective. Hinged to the side, this antique bangle has it all.
Fully hallmarked, this was fashioned in 1883 in Birmingham. Labeled inside the box lid is the retailer, or Perreit, Goldsmith, Watchmaker, and Jewellers, Westons-S-Mare.
