AUSTRIAN HUNGARIAN 1880 Victorian Bracelet In Sterling Silver With Onyxes
An Austrian-Hungarian Empire bracelet from the Victorian era.
A gorgeous late 19th-century antique bracelet created in Budapest during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, circa 1880. This elegant piece is masterfully handcrafted in the Victorian style in solid silver (.800–.999 fineness), featuring textured finishes that enhance its rich surface character. The design incorporates Baroque-inspired elements, lending the bracelet a sense of movement and ornamental depth. It is embellished with five cabochon-cut black onyx gemstones, carefully carved and selected for their deep, lustrous tone, providing a striking contrast against the silver mounting. The bracelet is fitted with a concealed box clasp with push-lock mechanism, ensuring both security and a seamless appearance. A refined and highly decorative example of Central European late 19th-century jewelry, combining historic stylistic influences with fine craftsmanship. A very nice collector's jewelry piece.
