Victorian 22ct Gold Snake Bracelet Mourning Locket Blue Enamelled

£3,529.00

A super fabulous Victorian gold mourning bracelet (c. 1880) in 22ct gold possibly 18ct with an overlay of 22ct yet the piece was tested as 22ct. This is a little piece of history and artistry in one. Articulated as a snake-link chain with a teardrop locket, adorned with delicate blue enamel scrollwork and a stunning “S”—a true example of exquisite Victorian craftsmanship.

To the other side of the locket is a glass-covered compartment to hold a tiny keepsake or lock of hair, a tender reminder of love and memory.

Mourning jewelry became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly during the Victorian era after Queen Victoria mourned Prince Albert. People would wear such pieces to honor lost loved ones, often incorporating hair, enamel, or inscriptions to make the pieces deeply personal.

Octagonal barrel clasps are rare, and this one has delicate leaf engraving that beautifully finishes the bracelet.

I love the smoothness of the snake design, its buttery gold tone, and the vibrant enamel work which makes this piece unique, wearable, and utterly collectible.

On the wrist, it feels comfortable with a nice weight. This is an elegant bracelet, and full of character - a wearable piece of history that’s as striking today as it was over a century ago.
