Victorian entwined hearts bangle
This Victorian-era moonstone bangle, dating from 1870-1890, hails from the United Kingdom and symbolizes the beautiful union of two hearts.
Crafted in 18k solid gold, the front features two perfectly rounded heart-shaped moonstone cabochons adorned with a bow and embellished with half pearls. Moonstones symbolize femininity and charm, with their subtle, crystal-like translucence exuding a mysterious allure. Legend has it that wearing moonstone during a full moon brings the prospect of meeting a desirable lover, earning it the nickname "lover's stone." The bow on top carries a clever meaning; in English, "Tie the knot" signifies a union, and here it symbolizes the eternal love shared between two lovers. Jewelry featuring twin hearts and bows was a popular choice during the Victorian era for sentimental and wedding gifts.
The bangle's interior is designed with a hollow structure and is in overall good condition, with only a minor indentation in one spot. It opens and closes from the top and bottom, allowing for a flexible fit on the wrist, and it includes its original safety chain.
