Hi Frankie I think this is very nice work but the frame work and bangle do not look 19th c because of the sharpness in design. I would think this dates from the 30's -mid century.. or pre 1950. I see it as very similar to hollywood regency period and what was going on then with jewelry. Glamorous new error but not Edwardian or even Esthetic movement. Brits would have used this or very modern Indians who were traveled. The taste was always there for these even earlier but the way it is made is not reflective of design at that time.
