This Victorian silver bangle dates to the late 19th century and reflects the robust yet decorative jewellery of the period. Crafted in solid silver, it features a wide cuff form designed to sit comfortably and securely on the wrist, making it suitable for regular wear as well as collection.

The front panels display hand-engraved foliate decoration, arranged in neat repeating bands. The engraving shows confident, skilled handwork, with crisp leaf motifs and fine linear detailing that catch the light subtly. In contrast, the reverse is plain and softly worn, which highlights the bangle’s honest age and long history of use.

The bangle opens via a hinged section and closes with a fitted clasp, supported by a safety chain. This practical construction was typical of Victorian cuff bangles, allowing a substantial piece to be worn securely while remaining easy to put on. Inside, the silver shows natural patina and surface marks consistent with age, adding to its character rather than detracting from it.

Victorian silver jewellery often balanced decoration with durability, and this cuff is a good example of that approach. It feels solid on the wrist, yet the engraved surface keeps the design visually light and wearable.

Why we love this bangle

This is a well-made Victorian cuff that does exactly what it should. It is sturdy, comfortable to wear, and decorated with care. The engraving has softened slightly over time, which gives the piece warmth and authenticity. It works equally well as an everyday statement bangle or as part of a wider antique jewellery collection.
