Antique 19th-century Victorian Bracelet With Coral Cameos

This Victorian bracelet from the second half of the 19th century is crafted from gold-plated metal, a common jewelry material of the period, and coral cameos. The bracelet features three parallel links and a hidden clasp. The main cameo is oval in shape and features the profile of a woman, likely a mythological figure or a classical portrait, surrounded by an elaborate and finely crafted frame. Two smaller cameos, one on each side of the center piece, also feature the profile of a female figure and are set in similar oval frames. The combination of gold-plated metal and red coral cameos creates a vivid color contrast that was highly prized in the Victorian era. This type of jewelry was often worn for formal events or as a statement accessory, reflecting the predilection for classical motifs and detailed craftsmanship typical of the period. The gilding is in good condition, with only minor age-related color loss, as shown in the photos. The central element measures: 2.3 x 1.7 cm
The two side elements measure: 1.3 x 0.7 cm
