This bracelet is made from 9k gold and fitted with a variety of six different barrel-shaped agates. The clasp has a two-coloured agate at one side, and an empty glass panel at the other, surrounded by scrollwork engravings. 

The design of this bracelet is typical for Scottish jewellery of the 19th Century, which consisted of either silver or gold pieces set with semi-precious gemstones such as agates, malachite, and jasper, which were often carved or faceted into intricate shapes. 
 
However, it is not certain that this bracelet was indeed made in Scotland. After Queen Victoria fell in love with Scottish jewels, and started wearing them frequently from the 1850s onwards, the general public also wanted to wear Scottish-inspired jewels. This prompted the making of similar-looking jewels in the whole of the United Kingdom. 

GENERAL INFORMATION

Size: 20 cm / 8 inches long: because of the wide links, it would suit a 16-18 cm / 6-7 inch wrist best. 
The barrel links are 9 mm wide each. 

Weight: 40.90 grams.

Age: 19th Century, also known as the Victorian era, circa 1860s.

Material: Acid tested as 9k gold. 

Condition: In good antique condition with some wear, consistent with its age. Two small 'handles' were soldered at the clasp at some time in the past. I believe that the clasp originally contained a piece of hair work, which was likely removed when these were soldered on since it would not have withstood soldering heat, so now the gold back is visible behind the glass panel. 







Please note that the antique box is for display purposes.
