This stunning gold bracelet was made in about 1880. It would have been the height of fashion, emulating Queen Victoria’s passion for all things Scottish.

Not all so-called Scottish jewellery was made in Scotland. Much was produced in Birmingham, sometimes using pre-cut stones from Germany, after the local, limited supplies were exhausted.

This style of bracelet with capped engraved columns was popular, though most are much simpler, with only one row, and they’re usually silver set.

The joining links are a special feature here, their raised agates united in an elaborate cartouche base and delineated by thin strips of gold that provide a refined contrast to the rich hues of the stones.
