A Beautiful Antique Victorian Gold, Pearl and Diamond Hinged Bangle

A Victorian gold, pearl and diamond bangle c.1880s, the solid bangle in 15ct yellow gold with hinged side opening, set throughout the front with four straight uniform rows of creamy-white round half-pearls all interspersed with rose diamond points, the back plain polished gold with a lovely antique patina, the opening with concealed clasp and safety chain, in original fitted leather case with silk and velvet lining, retailed by Aird & Thompson of Glasgow. This beautiful bangle is a really lovely period piece, the pearls have been nicely matched and are in excellent condition, with the little diamond points adding a touch of sparkle in between the lustrous pearls.
