ANTIQUE ELEPHANT HAIR BANGLE

A super stylish Victorian Elephant Hair Bangle.

The antique bracelet features three bands;

The top and bottom bands are made of high carat rolled gold tubes.

The central band is made of a single strand of Elephant hair coiled in a high carat gold strip.

The bands are joined by 14ct rolled gold crimp connectors.

The bangle is a good weight, and more sturdy than similar bangles I have found in the past.

Elephant hair jewellery became popular late in the 19th century.

It was bought as an exotic souvenir during the British Raj, when Western European adventurers started visiting India and would commission elephant hair jewellery as a souvenir of their safari experience.

Elephant hair jewellery is seen to prevent illness and harm, as well as bring love and luck.

This bangle looks fab alone or worn as part of a wrist stack.

Rolled gold was first created in England in the 19th century. It is made by fusing sheets of 9ct or higher gold either side of a base metal.

The metals are heat bonded then rolled into flat sheets.

Rolled gold has around 100 times more gold content, than plated gold.
