This gleaming antique English sterling silver bangle has a one-of-a-kind, buttoned shirt-cuff motif. From the Victorian Period, this motif is highly sought after and a bit hard to find. It's the first double cuff we've found.

You can see the quality in the realistic details: from the finely twisted (granulated) silver cord that mimics the thread or stitches around the button holes to the center panel that looks like a corset.

It has a push-in tongue and groove closure, which closes securely.

Pairing a heavy linked Albert watch chain or collar necklace with a silver buttoned cuff bangle can transform jeans and a t-shirt, or add a bit of edge to a black cocktail dress.
