Antique 18K Gold, Turquoise And Pearl Cuff Bracelet

For over 80 years and spanning three generations of family ownership, Kentshire Galleries has been one of the foremost dealers of fine antique and period jewelry, and objets d’art. As the third generation of the family to lead Kentshire, Carrie Imberman and her brother, Matthew, joined continue to refine the gallery’s founding vision: buying and selling outstanding jewelry and objects of enduring design and elegance.

An Antique gold, turquoise, and pearl cuff bracelet, with repeating lozenge-shaped cutouts, bridged by diagonal bands of alternating pavé turquoise and pearls, in 18k.

Given the Victorian predilection for using jewelry to convey sentiment and coded messages, turquoise often evoked the forget-me-not flower and was associated with good luck. Queen Victoria's love of turquoise no doubt contributed to its resurgence in 19th century European jewelry.
