Elegance Of Antique Bracelets



There is something about antique bracelets. These could be the famous Faberge bracelets with the 5 pastel eggs going back to Russia in the 19th century or the antique bracelets in silver with scarab beetles from Egypt. There is a piece of history attached to each. The Faberge bracelets will take you back to the days of the Imperial Czars and their courts of intrigue, to the House of Faberge the jewelers especially commissioned by Alexander III to make special jewelry for the royalty. The pastel eggs were in gold and silver and encrusted with gems. The scarab beetles were symbolic of rebirth believed by the ancient Egyptians. The antique Viking jewelry consisting of bracelets in sterling silver with Viking Runes or alphabets goes back to around 750 AD when the Viking, a warrior Nordic race spread all over Asia, Europe and reached America to finally settle down in England, France and Russia.
