A captivating Victorian gold bracelet with griffins, old cut diamonds and pearls. It features six intricate links, each adorned with two griffins symmetrically positioned and is crafted in 18 carat yellow gold. It has a central pearl with alternating diamonds and pearls either side. The rich, warm tone of the gold, typical of jewellery from this period, enhances the intricate details of the griffins and adds depth to the design. Evoking mythology, the griffins symbolise guardians of treasures, while the alternating pearls and diamonds highlight Victorian artistry. With its harmonious blend of late Victorian excess and early Art Nouveau fluidity, this French creation celebrates mythological elegance and refined craftsmanship, making it a timeless piece of wearable art.
