Circa 1870-80s, 18k, France. This charming French bangle bracelet features a delightful equestrian theme. A horseshoe set with diamond and ruby "nails" is the visual center with a braided foxhunting quirt that delightfully curls around itself, aesthetically suggestive of a snake. The look is Gallic town and county at its horsey best. Quality, composition, and superb construction; all the qualities we expect from French jewels. Excellent condition.
