I love it when we get “new” old goods… excitement bubbles up inside me when I’m digging through a tray of fresh inventory! It’s the best kind of treasure hunt. I’m not always the first one to ogle these charming trinkets – sometimes they make it into our inventory without me ever laying eyes on them! This is a travesty that I strive to avoid. How can I call “dibs” on the merchandise if I don’t even see it?!?! Yesterday, I uncovered a real gem – I am so smitten!

Handcrafted from 9-karat yellow gold near the turn of the 20th century, this delicate bracelet is a refined beauty. Measuring seven-inches in length, it showcases a glorious array of colorful gemstones.

With eleven natural gemstones nestled in fine claw settings, this Victorian harlequin bracelet speaks with quiet elegance. Individual hinges between each link allow the bracelet to curve to the wrist. Varying in size and hue, each stone offers its own unique appeal. The layout from left to right includes a pink sapphire, a chrysoberyl, a citrine, then a zircon and one peridot, a round amethyst center, a garnet, then another zircon, a green tourmaline and a catseye and finally one pink tourmaline. It’s a captivating kaleidoscope of color.

A tiny curb-link chain and clasp finish the length of the bracelet. In excellent condition, this authentic antique is priced at $2,175.00. There is not one thing that I would change. It’s perfect. ♥

In the midst of social distancing, the most important thing we can do is to care for each other. Respect each other, have REGARD for one another. What more elegant way to do so than with this superb bracelet from the late Victorian era.

Beautifully handcrafted from 22 karat yellow and rose gold, the length of this bracelet features woven mesh links nearly one inch wide. The mesh is capped with a pair of high polished ends where the clasp attaches. Most often, a clasp is hidden, made to blend seamlessly – not in this case. This clasp is displayed proudly, and set with a series of gemstones in a very specific order… Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, and Diamond. These colorful stones are an acrostic, with the first letter of each one spelling out the word REGARD.

This very romantic sentiment is surrounded by additional rich details. A matte finish has been applied to the underlying structure, while the edge of the clasp is artfully scalloped with raised golden curls interspersed with multicolored leaves.

A method of expressing affection, these symbolic gems were popular during the 1800’s. In addition to the “Regard” cipher, there was also “Dearest”. Rings were the most common example of this art-form, this bracelet is much more rare. Priced at $4,475.00 – this expertly crafted beauty is highly collectible and won’t last long.

If you’ve been searching for the perfect way to tell her that you love her, look no further. Call us at 800-747-7552 to make it yours.
