This lovely pair of antique wedding bracelets are stamped with the initials \"PT\" and the wedding date of June 1, 1880! They test positive for 10k gold but I believe these to be gold filled, which was common for these pieces around that era. The bracelets measure 5\" and 5-1/2\" and are hinged by-pass style. There is light wear / darkening of the metal mainly on the ball ends of the bracelet, but this may just need polishing, which I will leave up to the new owner. During the Victorian era there was a tradition surrounding the concept of “wedding bracelets.” The tradition holds that a bride was given a pair of bracelets by her husband-to-be. She wore one while she was engaged, and then wore the other on her wedding day. For this reason, it’s rare to find a pair of Victorian wedding bracelets in similar condition, because the bride would almost always wear one more than the other. It is very rare to find a complete pair of these bracelets, especially of this age and in this great condition. You know that they were well loved and well taken care of and kept together throughout the years.
