Description

This bangle takes us back to the mid-1950s, presenting itself as a simple yet elegant golden piece with a domed top. Its surface is adorned with intricate hand-engraved tendril ornaments, which add a rich decorative touch. The engraving technique used here is a special form of ornamentation that was developed in Vienna, known in art history as "Viennese freehand engraving." This style is influenced by the formal language of the Rococo period and typically features floral motifs, as well as antique elements such as acanthus leaves and scrollwork. In particular, during the 1950s, Austrian and German jewelry designers drew inspiration from these historical styles in their creations. It is the artistic execution of the engraving that gives this bangle its distinctive charm. The piece is solidly and precisely crafted, sitting comfortably on the arm. Unlike many other bangles of this type, it is not filled with resin. A fine example, in excellent condition, showcasing the beautiful hue of 14-karat gold.
