A single clear paste stone rests in its mouth. Engraved scrolls and crosshatched panels frame the lion on either side, carrying the design across the pierced shoulders so the whole front of the bracelet reads as one piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe lion was one of the most loved motifs of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, a symbol of strength, courage and protection. Gold filled construction allowed jewelers of the period to stamp and chase this kind of deep, detailed relief at a scale that would have been impractical in solid gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe hinged band opens easily and closes securely, and the slim 6.78mm back keeps it comfortable on the wrist while the lion takes center stage, making it a natural statement on its own or a favorite added to your stack.\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Edwardian, c. 1910\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Gold filled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHallmark: PAT. 322 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Hinged bangle with a high-relief lion head center, two red paste eyes, a clear paste stone set in the mouth, and engraved scroll shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements: Lion head 29.22mm tall; band 6.78mm wide at back; 7\" inner circumference when closed\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplimentary US shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBeautiful antique condition with light, age-appropriate wear consistent with careful use.

That date fell on a Tuesday, the day the Patent Office issued patents, which supports the reading. A patent date marks the earliest a piece could have been made, and makers often kept stamping the same date for several years. That places this bracelet around 1910 or just after, at the close of the Edwardian period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe hipV collection:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAntique and vintage jewelry.
