This bracelet is an antique engraved bangle from the late Victorian period. A rigid, semi-opening bracelet (hinged bangle), typical of the period from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. The outer side is decorated with engraved ornament, floral or leaf motifs - this style was especially popular in the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The clasp design - a "tubular hinge" clasp with a pin lock was used until the 1920s, especially in "gold filled" products. Greenish oxidation indicates that the base is most likely brass or bronze, covered with a layer of gold.
