Still Growing | Continental 800 Silver Heart Bracelet, Victorian, c. 1895–1910

Time was part of the design. The symbolism was hardly hidden. Hearts appear across every panel of the bracelet, framed by flowers and rendered in raised silverwork that catches the light from every angle. Whatever message the maker intended, subtlety was not part of the plan. More than a century later, the design still endures. Crafted in Continental 800 silver, this bracelet dates to approximately 1895–1910. Octagonal panels feature repoussé hearts framed by scrolling botanical forms, joined by flower-form connectors that create movement across the wrist. The combination of dimensional silverwork, pierced details, and repeating motifs gives the bracelet remarkable presence, while the substantial width makes it as visually striking today as it would have been at the turn of the century.
