Featuring seven exceptionally hand painted medallions, this gorgeous forget-me-not/rose bouquet bracelet is as symbolic as it is playful. Seven bouquets bursting with spring’s bounty, rendered atop glass “pâte” medallions, by hand seem to herald spring’s arrival to your wrist.
Circa 1860, this rare French example is Napoleon III period, made of a French material know by the name Pomponne, a French version of the ever-elusive pinchbeck. This is such a special bracelet, with her vine like spacers and elastic re-fitting, perfect for a modern comfort. I know that it will be a classic addition to any wrist stack and a wonderful sentimental present.
