Vintage 9ct Gold Enamel Yacht Club Flag Bracelet by Benzie of Cowes, Spectrum Antiques
Vintage 9ct Gold Enamel Yacht Club Flag Bracelet by Benzie of Cowes, Spectrum Antiques
£1,200.00
Description
A wonderful piece of nautical jewellery, this vintage 9ct gold bracelet is set with nine enamelled signal flags, each held within a white-enamelled octagonal surround on a fine double-row trace chain. The flags are worked in vivid, precise enamel — reds, blues, and yellows in crosses, chevrons, and pennant forms — representing the maritime signal alphabet so beloved of yacht club tradition.
Stamped "9CT BENZIE," the bracelet is the work of Benzie of Cowes, the celebrated Isle of Wight jeweller founded in 1862 and still trading today as one of the foremost names in British yachting jewellery, with commissions held for sailing clubs across the world. A charming, well-made piece with genuine maritime pedigree, equally at home as a collector's item or a beautifully wearable bracelet.
