A rare and beautiful Antique Russian bangle set with fine natural rubies and delicate split pearls. This piece has that unmistakable old-world Russian charm—rich gold color, exceptional hand-work, and gemstones chosen for their vivid presence.
The body of the bracelet tests as 20 karat gold on XRF, while the clasp tongue is solid 14k gold and stamped “56 Zolotnik”, the historic Russian gold standard equivalent to ~14k. This dual-composition construction is typical of late-19th/early-20th-century Russian workshop practice.
