Bracelet - 8 kt. Rose gold Pearl - Pearl

Antique rigid circular bracelet (bangle). Era / Style: Late Victorian Era / Early Edwardian Period (circa 1880–1910). Handmade artisanal craftsmanship attributable to the Central European or British area. Structural material: Low-karat gold (8 karat / 333 fineness or 9 karat / 375 fineness), bright polished finish. The period alloy presents a warm pinkish tone typical of historic copper-rich alloys, chosen to ensure maximum structural rigidity of the hinge. Total weight: 14 grams (solid and substantial construction).
Mechanical features and closure: Concealed clasp integrated into the circle profile, equipped with a lateral hinge with an internal spring functioning perfectly and a secure snap. Original safety chain mounted to the shaft on small rings to prevent accidental loss.
Decoration and gemstones: The upper part of the bracelet expands into a domed central band, richly worked with a pavé of natural river half-pearls (split pearls), hand-cut to obtain a flat base. The pearls are arranged in multiple decreasing rows toward the sides, tapering in size according to the curvature of the design. The setting is entirely handmade using a dense system of microscopic prongs (gripping teeth) in gold shared among the gems.
Condition: Excellent overall historical preservation. The mechanics and metal framework are intact and free from deformities. Only note is the absence of a single small half-pearl positioned at the very end of the decorative band (an age-related wear defect, easily restorable with contemporaneous material).
