From the historic Charlotte Waterhouse Collection, this breathtaking pair of bangles dates to Paris, circa 1890. Showcasing masterful craftsmanship of the Belle Époque period, each bracelet features intricate, lace-like filigree work that captures the romantic elegance of turn-of-the-century France.
One bangle appears to be silver or platinum (untested), with a striking icy brilliance and extraordinary detailing. The other combines silver with a delicate layer of gold plating, creating a warm two-tone effect that highlights the ornate patterning. Both pieces are likely handcrafted and exhibit the fine, airy openwork typical of late 19th-century French design.
