This wonderful Victorian bracelet combines function and form to a tee. Fashioned in rose gold, the decorative element at the head of the bangle is a removable pencil held in place by three brackets. The pencil telescopes out to a 2.5" length and has retained its original lead. This bracelet would have been worn by a young Victorian debutante and used to record the names of her parters on her dance card.
