Austria-Hungary was a constitutional monarchy that was created in 1867 and was dissolved in 1918. During this short period of time, many opulent, dramatic pieces of jewelry were produced. Close in proximity to Germany and Italy, Renaissance Revival style was a significant influence. Gothic, Biblical and Mythical themes were prevalent, as was the use of closely clustered jewels, both genuine and paste.
Crafted in silver with a gold wash on the elements, this elaborate bracelet features floral motifs with foiled back garnets as the petals and creamy pearls as accent stones. The garnets were foiled to emulate rubies, giving a brighter hue to the darker stones. A wonderful piece that can be worn with so many looks, you'll find yourself slipping it on regularly!
