A mid 19th century gold enamel and gem-set bracelet. Designed as a graduated series of openwork...

The lot is in poor overall condition with light scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. The bracelet has possibly been converted from another piece(s) of jewellery. The panels are joined together with old repairs and/or replacement stud links. The clasp is a replacement. Three of the links show old repairs. Soft solder is visible. The safety chain is a later addition. The principal panel may have had a glazed compartment to the reverse. There is moderate damage to the enamel with losses, scratches and shallow chips. The gems are all foil backed. Please see important notices in the back of the catalogue for Coloured Gemstones. The rubies and emeralds show typical inclusions that somewhat affect the transmission of light through the gems. The gems are in poor condition with significant abrasion. Unhallmarked. Weight 12.8gms.
