DEAREST Rock Crystal Signal Flag Bracelet in 18ct Gold | English c.1910s
A rare and romantic bracelet spelling out “DEAREST” in maritime signal flags, each one reverse painted by hand onto a domed rock crystal cabochon, then mounted in 18ct gold and linked with fine chain.
More than a nautical novelty, it is a coded love token, with each flag standing in for a letter to spell out the word “Dearest”, and each miniature flag is painted in reverse behind the crystal. A clever piece with lasting charm and character.
Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
