This historical Victorian-Grand Tour bangle bracelet, crafted in Rome, Italy between 1870 and 1880, is a rare and bold piece designed in 19k yellow gold with intricate Roman and Etruscan revival patterns. It features three-dimensional micro-mosaic panels depicting loving swans and floral bouquets, framed in neo-classical designs. The mosaics, made with thousands of tiny pieces of natural hardstones like lapis lazuli, coral, jasper, onyx, malachite, and nacre, showcase exceptional Italian craftsmanship. Weighing 116.2 grams, the bracelet has an inside circumference of 7 inches, fitting wrists up to 6.5 inches, with a width of 52 mm (2.05 inches). This piece exemplifies the artistry of the Grand Tour era.
