    This captivating late 19th-century bracelet, crafted in 18K warm yellow gold, features six intricate links, each adorned with two griffins symmetrically positioned as if contesting over a central gem—either a lustrous pearl or an old mine-cut diamond.The rich, warm tone of the gold, typical of jewellery from this period, enhances the intricate details of the griffins and adds depth to the design. Evoking mythology, the griffins symbolise guardians of treasures, while the alternating pearls anddiamonds highlight Victorian artistry. With its harmonious blend of late Victorian excess and early Art Nouveau fluidity, this French creation celebrates mythological elegance and refined craftsmanship, making it a timeless piece of wearable art.
