Victorian Etruscan Revival Bangle Bracelet with Removable Pendant/Brooch

Victorian 14K yellow gold bracelet/pendant/brooch. A Victorian bracelet in gold, its hinged bangle worked in fine ribbed and beaded texture and centered on a removable Etruscan Revival brooch. The brooch's twin rosettes, hand engraved and edged in granulation, reflect the period's fascination with ancient Greek and Roman goldsmithing techniques, rediscovered and reinterpreted by Victorian jewelers. A slender bar clasp secures the brooch to the bangle, while a hidden bail allows it to be worn as a pendant on its own. Fitted to a 6.5 inch wrist, this is a rare dual purpose piece, equal parts bracelet and brooch/pendant, and a fine example of the craftsmanship the Etruscan Revival is known for.
