Victorian Gilt Persian Turquoise Bracelet

As turquoise ages and has contact with the wearer, it can change color and become more of a deep green tone. Over a long period of time, this has occurred on this Victorian era bracelet to create an interesting pattern of color. Some remain the original Persian turquoise blue and other stones are in a variety of stages of turning deep green. Each of these stones is hand cut and set in a gilt metal. The bracelet has a hinge with a push-in clasp and a safety chain.
