Sandor-Style Victorian Revival Bracelet

This glorious c. 1950s Victorian Revival bracelet centers on a large, high-domed confetti resin cabochon with wonderful depth and visual interest. Flanking the dramatic center stone are warm amber-colored faceted rhinestones, which add sparkle while complementing the bracelet’s antiqued-gold appearance.

In addition, decorative open-metalwork plaques extend along either side of the center setting, giving the bracelet an ornate, architectural quality. Twisted metal detailing further frames the central plaque and adds texture to the design. As a result, the bracelet has a substantial, richly ornamented appearance that beautifully captures the romanticism of 1950s Victorian Revival jewelry.

Although unsigned, the bracelet has characteristics reminiscent of some Sandor jewelry and German-made costume jewelry of the period. However, no maker or country-of-origin mark is present; therefore, we are offering this comparison as a stylistic observation rather than an attribution.

The bracelet has a hinged construction and measures approximately 2 inches across the inner diameter when closed and 1 3/4 inches at its widest point. Overall, the combination of its oversized confetti resin cabochon, amber-colored rhinestones, open metalwork, and antiqued-gold finish makes this an especially striking example of mid-century Victorian Revival costume jewelry.

Condition: The bracelet shows age-related plating wear, most noticeably as a dulling of the gold-tone finish on the interior. In addition, plating wear is visible along portions of the twisted metal surrounding the center plaque. Because the bracelet has an antiqued-gold finish, the tonal variation is generally sympathetic to the character of the design and does not detract from its overall beauty.
