This exceptional reworked Victorian bracelet seamlessly blends Georgian-inspired design elements with Victorian craftsmanship, featuring a breathtaking 1.42-carat Old Mine Cut diamond as its centrepiece. Boasting VS2 clarity and J/K colour, this extraordinary diamond measures 6.5 x 7.5 mm and is secured in a handcrafted 18ct gold cut-down collet setting. This technique—reminiscent of Georgian-era artistry—elevates the diamond’s natural brilliance and celebrates its storied heritage.
 
Old Mine Cut diamonds are treasured for their charm and distinctive sparkle. As precursors to modern diamond cuts, these stones were crafted entirely by hand in the 18th and 19th centuries. Designed to dazzle under candlelight, they feature a cushion-like shape, taller crowns, and small tables that direct the eye to the open culet, producing a soft, romantic glow. Each Old Mine Cut diamond is a unique work of art, reflecting the individuality and skill of the artisan who created it.
 
The bracelet’s 18ct gold chain combines 7mm tight curb links and 8mm wide statement links, repurposed from antique Victorian pocket watch chains. The result is a striking, one-of-a-kind design that honours its original components while creating a cohesive and wearable modern heirloom. Each link is stamped with a crown and “18” hallmark, confirming its gold purity, with one link further bearing the maker's mark “S&S”.
 
At 6 inches long, this bracelet can be customised up to 7 inches at no additional cost, simply leave a note during checkout and allow 6-8 weeks for adjustments. For longer sizes exceeding 7 inches, please contact us with your wrist size to explore custom options.
 
With a total weight of 23.74 grams, this piece feels as substantial as it looks—an enduring example of antique artistry and beauty.
