Edwardian 18ct Gold Coffee Bean Bracelet in original box

589M
904 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A rather fun and unusual 18ct gold bracelet depicting coffee beans and Dracaena cinnabari which is also known as a Dragon Blood Trees. These trees are grown in Yemen which at one point was the largest producer of coffee in the world. The Mocha coffee bean as it is known because it was shipped for the port of Mocha in Yemen, is a variety of coffee bean harvested from the coffee-plant species Coffea arabica, which is native to Yemen.
In the 17th century, the Mocha coffee bean was shipped from Mocha only after roasting to prevent propagation. This bracelet must have been a special commission made for someone who loved coffee or was at least part of the growing market industry of coffee. It is in it’s original box. The maker is Carrington & Co, 130 Regent Street, London. who made jewellery for the King and Queen at the time, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. It was made circa 1900-1910 and is beautifully designed. It would be the perfect gift for a coffee lover!
