Here comes the bride (with her gorgeous bangles)! 

Wedding bangles have a long history - one would be presented with the first one on the day of engagement, and the second one on the day of marriage! Inscribed for a beautiful union, this pair carries lots of symbolism. Scrolling ivy leaves rendered in black enamel extend on the front and back sides of these gorgeous bangles--four renderings of the leaves total, so beautiful and rare to find. The ivy leaves were known to celebrate life, and in some instances, having a religious undertone of immortality-- the bond of love in another life after the one we enjoy here on earth.

Both bangles have been inscribed, for the same date, in fact- reading:

LOP to CPH June 18th 1882

HP to CPH June 18th 1882 Dinna forget

I imagine they were gifted in tandem with the wedding, the Dinna Forget bangle by the groom perhaps, the other from a loving family member. I adore that only one has the additional Dinna Forget inscription, so sentimental, indeed!

Shown in the image appendix stacked with another beloved bangle of ours, also listed.
