This handmade bracelet is crafted in 18k yellow gold and platinum like most Edwardian jewellery. King Edward was the son and successor of Queen Victoria. When he became King, he was already leader of a fashionable elite. Thanks to his fashion consciousness and the use of Platinum that has never been used before, the jewels crafted during his short reign were glamorous and refined yet delicate and airier. This new metal and the fashion sense of the King translated itself in openwork lace jewellery existing out of leaves and flowers.
These leaves and flowers were often detailed with mille grain. Mille grain are little studs on the edges which gave a jewel some extra eye-catching shiny details. Mille grains are not the only characteristics of Edwardian jewels, also the monochromatic white look of these jewels is typical. In addition to the white looking platinum, they mainly used diamonds and pearls which have the same colour scheme.
We love this glamorous bracelet. It fits any outfit, it is small yet sparkly and classy. It has everything an antique bracelet should have.
