Antique Victorian Etruscan 18K Gold Natural Pearl w/ Enamel Open Bangle Bracelet

An antique gold, amethyst, pearl and enamel bracelet set with a cabochon amethyst, one seed pearl and adorned with black enamel, crafted from 18 karat yellow gold. The high domed amethyst cabochon is a beautiful lilac hue, which appears as a deep, luxurious, purplish red when viewed from certain angles, due to the foil backing on the stone. The amethyst has been adorned with a pale, lustrous pearl, set within a gold star. Surrounding the amethyst are concentric circles, of Etruscan design, which was at the height of fashion during the mid Victorian era. Twisted rope motifs, beading and a ring of black enamel adorn the centrepiece of this bracelet. The black enamel is in incredible condition for the age of the piece. The bracelet is further engraved with an intricate fan motif. The bracelet is hinged and is secured with a study clasp. The bracelet is in good condition, with some dings and scratches, which are mainly situated at the back of the bracelet. Wear and tear acquiescent with age. The most intriguing thing about this bracelet, is that the circular portion which holds the amethyst, can be undone from the bracelet. It is secured with a screw, and the circular panel can be unscrewed and removed. It may be possible that this bracelet was originally been part of a set (possibly containing a brooch fitting and a pendant necklace fitting, as well as the bracelet fitting). The amethyst could have been attached to any of these fittings, to create a multi-functional piece of jewellery. Engineering such as this, was key in the Victorian era, and much of the convertible jewellery...
