Roman revival grand tour bangle bracelet. This is a beautiful historical bangle bracelet, created during the Victorian-Grand Tour era, in Rome Italy between the 1870 and 1880. The rare bracelet is very substantial, bold and was carefully crafted with Roman and Etruscan revival patterns in solid rich yellow gold of 19 karats and embellished with intricate three dimensional panels, which are decorated with micro-mosaic, depicting Loving Swans and flowers bouquets, all with neo-classical frames. The micro mosaics panels are very well executed, of Italian origin and made up in Rome with thousands of tiny pieces carved from natural hardstones, such; blue lapis lazuli, red coral, maroon jasper, black onyx, green malachite and cream nacre. The bracelet is fitted with concealed three barrels hinge and a long screwed pin, that function as a safety lock. The Swan, Symbol Of Love Swans are present in many European fairy tales, symbolizing chastity (partly because of their white plumage), artistry, and beauty. On a related note, swans are associated with fidelity, loyalty in marriage, and monogamy, because they mate for life. In Greek art, beginning at least in the Archaic period, Aphrodite was sometimes depicted with a swan, a symbol of good health, music, divination, and grace. In Roman times, Latin poets, such as Ovid and Horace, also referred to the goddess in her chariot being drawn through the air by swans. Weight: 116.2 Grams, (74.5 Dwt). Size: The inside circumfer
