Antique Victorian Gold Bracelet with Enamel Cherubs and Pearls

Victorian Gold Bracelet with Enamel Cherubs and Diamond Accents

An extraordinary antique gold bracelet, richly decorated with colorful enamel scenes of cherubs, framed by pearls and intricate gold work. A rare jewel of artistry and symbolism.

This magnificent bracelet exemplifies the romantic spirit of the Victorian era, when jewelry often combined allegory, symbolism, and masterful craftsmanship. Fashioned in richly hued high-karat yellow gold, the bracelet showcases exquisite enamel miniatures of cherubs, each painted with extraordinary detail and delicacy.

The central panel depicts a lively cherub set against a vivid background, while two smaller enamel plaques portray reclining putti, their expressions rendered with remarkable artistry. Surrounding these scenes are lustrous natural pearls and finely chased floral goldwork, adding layers of texture and depth to the design.

Cherubs, long associated with innocence, love, and divine protection, made them a favored motif in 19th-century sentimental jewelry. The use of multicolored enamel and pearls heightens the bracelet’s luxurious appeal while reflecting the Victorian passion for narrative and symbolism in personal adornment.

This bracelet is more than a jewel—it is a miniature painting framed in gold, offering a wearable work of art for the connoisseur of antique treasures.
