In the late 19th century, bangles were de rigeur, beloved then as now. It was not uncommon for fashionable women to stack four per arm. In addition to plain gold examples, the wider bangles of the 1880s were topped with flowerhead clusters and checkerboard motifs, while ribbons and knots, an ancient motif for bracelets favored by the Greeks, were also popular.
