Antique Victorian 14K Coral Cabochon Hidden Clasp Bracelet 7”

A remarkably rare and exceptionally wearable Victorian bracelet crafted in 14 karat gold and adorned with richly colored natural pink coral cabochons. Finding an authentic Victorian bracelet measuring a full 7 inches in length is uncommon, making this example especially desirable for today’s collector. The dramatic floral-inspired centerpiece is composed of a commanding 17 mm coral cabochon surrounded by numerous approximately 14 mm cabochons, while the articulated bracelet is decorated with approximately 10.5 mm coral cabochons that create a beautifully fluid and substantial design. The coral displays the natural character expected of antique material, including minor age-related pitting and surface blemishes that attest to its authenticity. The central cabochon exhibits a fine hairline extending approximately halfway through the stone, though it does not affect the bracelet’s structural integrity or everyday wearability. The hidden clasp is accompanied by its original safety chain, which has become detached from one side over its lifetime and may be easily reattached by a jeweler or removed entirely, depending on preference. With its impressive scale, outstanding color, and highly collectible Victorian craftsmanship, this is an exceptional estate bracelet that is seldom encountered.
