There’s something so striking about the combination of sapphires and diamonds. Bright, crisp, bold, clean, and sharp. This Victorian Hunt & Roskell bracelet was made in England in 1880.
The openwork center of this Victorian Hunt & Roskell bracelet is set with an oval-cut royal blue Burmese sapphire within a larger cluster of old European-cut and rose-cut diamonds. The shoulders continue the design with a line of alternating graduated old-European cut diamonds, all mounted in silver and rose gold.
If that wasn’t amazing enough, the bracelet is actually a two-in-one: it has a pin attachment and can convert into a brooch.
There’s a photo for you to print out and tape to your wrist.
Just look at the color of that sapphire, surrounded by juicy old-cut diamonds in classic collet settings. I’d wear this any day.
Just when you think it couldn’t get any better…guess what other news I have for you? This Victorian Hunt & Roskell bracelet comes with its original fitted leather case stamped Hunt & Roskell, Late Storr & Mortimer, London.
Look at that perfection. Lined in luscious fabric, the box – which, let’s remember, is well over 100 years old – is in amazing condition and opens at both sides to reveal the bracelet sitting in glory in its perfectly formed home.
I wish I could show you a photo of the bracelet as a brooch, but this is all the seller provided. Still a wealth of beauty.

I have this very box unfortunately no bracelet. Have always wondered what was in it. The box was in my father inlaws effects and he passed away 1996 aged 93.
Oh wow! I wonder what it originally held? Such a fascinating mystery.
Outrageously STUNNING!!!
