Flowing gold bracelets made of ornamental links enjoyed great popularity at the turn of the century before last. Like many other innovations in the field of jewellery, they satisfied the need for softer and more supple shapes, after the jewellery of the previous generation, which was often perceived as too rigid and bulky. In December 1897, one could read in the influential magazine Der Bazar: "How invigorating, for example, genuine, artistically executed gold jewelry is for the toilet! For bracelets, the chain form is accepted on average; solid hoops are only rarely made." The present bracelet is a typical representative of this type of jewelry and appears as an even repeat of elongated decorative links held together by cross-shaped clasps. As a highlight, the design presents two beautiful old-cut diamonds and three natural pearls on the middle five links. The bracelet is in good condition and came to us from the Rhineland. Thanks to a safety eyelet on the clasp, it can be worn carefree. The quotation from Der Bazar, Illustrirte Damen-Zeitschrift, 43rd vol. no. 47 (December 13, 1897).
