A perfect Victorian hollow curb-link bracelet in 15ct rose gold. Complete with safety chain.
The metal that was most prevalent during the Victorian era was gold, and this was primarily due to a sequence of gold discoveries in countries around the world.
During the early 1900's, copper was added to yellow gold to form rose gold, and this soon became incredibly popular - because of the colour and its affordability! (The beautiful warm pink hue was seen as romantic, and it made the perfect gift for a loved one. Also, the price came down because of the copper mix and this made it more affordable for the growing middle class). During this era, there was a shift in production from hand-made items to mass produced machine-made items, and new techniques like stamping were introduced - this also helped reduce the price of jewellery.
By fashioning this bracelet out of hollow gold, the manufacturers made it lightweight and less expensive, and therefore a popular choice! The curb-link design is simple enough to be worn everyday, although it still retains an element of elegance. At only 12 grams, it doesn't weigh down your arm, and with the safety chain there's no chance of losing it.
Rose gold jewellery was popular during Queen Victoria's reign, but it's rare today. That's why this bracelet is the perfect accessory for your wrist, or as a gift for someone special!
