Antique Victorian Diamond Bangle

This remarkable Victorian diamond bangle was crafted in the city of Gouda, Netherlands, around 1870. It features 33 rose-cut diamonds, carefully set in closed-back foiled settings, a technique designed to enhance their natural brilliance under candlelight. The diamonds, with their triangular facets, are a quintessential hallmark of 19th-century jewellery, renowned for their captivating sparkle.

The bangle is constructed from solid 14K gold, weighing an impressive 24.38 grams, and showcases a hinged design with a secure box clasp and safety chain. The central diamond cluster measures 2.4 cm in diameter, while the bangle's proportions—5.8 cm by 5.1 cm internal diameter—ensures a comfortable fit.

Hallmarked with the Dutch ‘oak leaf’ for 14K gold and the city mark for Gouda, this piece exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship. The largest rose cut diamond in the centre measures 7x5x1.5 mm, with additional diamonds of varying sizes enhancing the overall design.

A truly timeless and wearable example of Victorian-era jewellery.
