{"product_id":"victorian-greek-key-pique-bangle","title":"Victorian Greek Key Pique Bangle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Greek key, or meander, takes its name from the winding Meander River in ancient Asia Minor. The pattern appears throughout ancient Greek architecture and pottery, formed from a single line that turns endlessly back on itself. That continuous path made it a natural symbol of eternity and the interconnectedness of things. I love how Victorian jewelry kept reiterating this theme: garters, the ouroboros, the infinity knot, etc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Victorians revived classical motifs constantly, and by the 1870s the meander was a Neoclassical banger. Here the gold piqué work contrasts nicely against dark tortoiseshell. Restrung on new elastic cord, it's very wearable and ultra-comfortable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIALS: tortoiseshell with gold inlay, elastic cord\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGE: c. 1870\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 6 1\/2\" inner circumference, 7\/8\" diameter of the round links, 1\/2\" flat links\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52832728613146,"sku":"B535","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/5502\/files\/B535-1.jpg?v=1788999208","url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/victorian-greek-key-pique-bangle","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
