1940s Gold Fox Intaglio Bangle Bracelet
Reverse-Carved Crystal • Equestrian Motif • Substantial 14K Gold
An extraordinary expression of mid-century craftsmanship and timeless sporting elegance, this sculptural 14K yellow gold bangle features a series of finely executed crystal intaglios, each depicting a beautifully detailed fox.
At the center, a striking reverse-carved crystal—meticulously hand-carved and painted from the reverse—captures the lifelike expression of the fox with remarkable depth and dimension. Additional intaglios encircle the bracelet, creating a cohesive and highly collectible design rooted in traditional English hunting and equestrian culture.
The bold, smoothly contoured gold mounting reflects the clean, confident lines of the 1940s, while the intaglio work draws upon an earlier tradition of fine crystal carving. The result is a piece that feels both substantial and storied—rich in character, yet effortlessly wearable.
A true statement bangle, this piece speaks to collectors of equestrian jewelry, lovers of heritage design, and those drawn to distinctive, one-of-a-kind treasures.
