Materials and Features:

• A dramatic and substantial Victorian Gothic Revival hinged bangle, quintessential of the bold, romantic jewelry of the 1940s.

• The centerpiece features a large, prong-set, faceted amethyst-purple glass cabochon with exceptional depth and clarity, designed to mimic the look of fine Siberian amethyst.

• The gold-toned metalwork frame (non-magnetic brass/bronze) features intricate machine-stamped scrollwork and a "skyscraper" etched band. The stone is flanked by high-relief floral and foliate shoulders, providing a seamless, architectural transition from the focal point to the band.

• The aesthetic combination of the deep purple glass and the darkened recesses of the ornate metalwork gives this piece a sophisticated "Noir" or Gothic appeal.
