This tradition stems from many of the great wars that ravaged Europe throughout the 1700s. The better bourgeoisie would melt down their precious gold and silver jewelry and then have copies made of iron to show support for the war. These could be engraved with text along the lines of \"I have given gold for iron\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tradition of wedding bracelets stems from the early 1800s. Tradition dictated that the bride would wear one bracelet during the engagement and could wear both after the marriage was concluded and the wedding ceremony took place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fact that these two bracelets have not been separated over the past 200 years is simply amazing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are made of iron and set with polished iron stones that sparkle almost like marcasites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few of these are missing, but it's not something you really notice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe set is in good condition.","brand":"Harsted Antik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52710465962312,"sku":"15860","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/4794\/7336\/files\/IMG_9808.jpg?v=1773937378","url":"https:\/\/harstedantik.dk\/en-eu\/products\/et-par-bryllups-armband-i-jern-fra-1820erne","provider":"Harsted Antik","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
