Dazzling Russian Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet c. 1880 with *56 Hallmark
An exceedingly special Russian bracelet circa 1880, this immaculate bangle holds a cunning secret; there is not one hidden clasp, but two, allowing the central part of the bracelet to detach totally, so it could be worn as a slide on a necklace or bracelet, or ribbon. A remarkable piece of history, with the coveted *56 hallmark!
