"Textures fascinate craftsmen today more than ever before", wrote Graham Hughes in 1963, then secretary of the historic Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, the English professional association of goldsmiths (Hughes: Modern Jewelry, London 1963). Gold had become the major theme of the post-war period and radiated prosperity and optimism. As it was increasingly allowed to stand on its own without placing precious stones in the foreground, people played with textures. This yellow gold bracelet also dates from this period. With an impressive weight of over 53 grams, it is pleasantly heavy around the wrist. The rich, warm glowing color of the gold makes it easy to understand why the sun was once considered the symbol of gold and the philosopher's stone in alchemy, which was supposed to transform base metals into gold. The surface treatment elicits different facets from the precious metal: The leaf-shaped elements appear velvety matt due to the hatching. Both the elements themselves and the hatching are aligned differently, creating a decorative striped pattern. The bracelet is in excellent condition and is a timeless piece, designed to emphasize the wonderful characteristics and beauty of its material.
