A Late Victorian gold filled wrap bracelet, circa 1890s, with ornate Byzantine Revival-style terminals and rose-cut garnet-colored glass.
The flexible ribbed strap glimmers with movement, its raised texture resembling gas pipe. Round finials feature delicate granulated decoration and serrated bezels surrounding the rich red glass stones.
The strap gently opens to wrap around the wrist and returns to its relaxed coil. Both stones are secure. No maker’s mark was found.
