Egyptian Revival Bracelet with Scarab

This bracelet is gorgeous and quite special. Victorian Architectural revival jewelry is lovely and inspired by ancient cultures. This bracelet is comprised of gold and a hard stone scarab. The scarab is likely not ancient and instead inspired by one found during an archeological dig. Etruscan inspired milgrain work is done on each side of the bracelet. The scarab also rotates. Inside of the bracelet there is an engraving that reads “Rome March 1848”. This engraving may be a tribute to an event that happened years before.  

Condition: Normal antique wear, some oxidation to the gold 

Metal: 15k Yellow Gold 

Age: ca. 1860s-70s

Dimensions: 8” diameter but this bracelet is small. Would work best for someone with a small wrist.
