The Bridesmaids' Bracelet, 1881. 'At the wedding of Mr. Leopold de Rothschild with Mdlle. Marie de Perugia the bridegroom presented each of the bridesmaids, therein named, with a gold portebonheur [good luck] bracelet, of special and novel design. Its upper or outer part was formed of bands of rubies and diamonds, interlaced with each other; these gems were set in the shape of perforated French ciphers, one set making the name "Marie," and the other making "Leopold." The inside of the bracelet was inscribed with the names of the bride and bridegroom, and the date of the wedding. Mr. Leopold de Rothschild himself designed the bracelets, which were made, with many of the other wedding gifts, by Messrs. London and Ryder, of New Bond-street'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
