I am slightly obsessed with this bangle. Possibly because it's a small size and fits my wrist perfectly but mainly because the texture, dimensions and proportions are bang on the biscuit. She has curves in alllll the right places and those cheeky little bobbles on one side of the curbs just add real substance to the overall feel of the piece.
Day and night jewellery became popular during the Victorian period when for many, money was in short supply. Raher than having multiple pieces of jewellery for different occasions; day and night jewelley was multi purpose and would be worn with the plain side facing outwards during the day and then the detailed side would be turned round or flipped over for the evening antics. If tht's not value for money hard at work, I don't know what is.
I'm in love and right this second I'm wondering if I should just add her to my own collection and be done with it...
Please take note of the dimensions, this is a particularly small bangle and fits my 6" wrist well but is not suitable for a wrist any bigger.
Superb Victorian keeper style day and night bangle

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statement and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy.
