Georgian Ruby & Diamond Wedding Bracelet in 18k Gold

A true treasure, this Georgian wedding bracelet is so delicate, so dainty, so exquisitely constructed it almost defies description. The 18k gold bracelet's central element is a bejeweled oval of intricate metal work, flanked by decorative hinged terminals. These elements also form the hidden clasp. The oval is pierced and engraved in a naturalistic design of tiny fruit, flowers and leaves, rendered in many colors of gold. An old mine cut diamond is collet-set at center and eight raspberry-red rubies ring the oval's edge. Sweet beading accents the incredible metal work. The terminals feature a matching motif and each is set with a ruby. The bracelet's band is a supple mesh of interlocking panels, so fluid it almost moves like fabric. Traditionally a bracelet like this one would have been worn as a pair, that's how Elizabeth Bennet would have worn them when she wed Mr. Darcy. Circa 1820. Details.....The bracelet measures 6.5" long, the decorative element 1.50" by 0.8" when clasped and t
