Retro 18 Karat Gold Tank Bracelet

About the Item

A beautifully crafted 'tank' bracelet in 18 karat gold from the 'Retro' period. The piece is crafted from geometric hollow bars which are connected to form a bracelet, which gets its name from its likeness to the treads on military tanks. Tank bracelets were popular in the Art Deco and Retro periods of the 20th century and are often Continental in origin. The way they are crafted is quite a mystery, because no pins are visible, which allows the design to appear quite seamless. This bracelet in 18 karat gold features a box clasp with two figure of 8 safety catches, and is in lovely condition with only some minor abrasions and slight knocks, all commensurate with age. Marked - '750' for the gold purity and 'K02' - likely a makers mark Total length - 17.5cm Total weight - 45.02 grams

  • Mario Buccellati Two Tone 18 Karat Gold Bracelet
    By Mario Buccellati
    Located in Brisbane, QLD
    We are very excited to present this wonderful handcrafted bracelet by Mario Buccellati. The two tone bracelet consists of woven gold ovals of alternating 18 karat yellow and 18 karat white gold that has been woven or braided. The interlocked links have then been very finely brushed to give a softer matte finish which could be described as a Florentine finish. The bracelet features a tongue and box clasp and two figure of eight safety catches which are all incorporated into an integrated link clasp. The clasp and safety catches are working well and are secure, ensuring the piece stays on tightly with three points of attachment. Whilst this bracelet is on the smaller side in terms of its circumference it certainly makes up for that in its quality craftsmanship by arguably Italy's most highly regarded goldsmith, Mario Buccellati. Whilst it is hard to give a precise date for its manufacture it is likely to date to the late 20th Century. An exceptional piece of Italian gold jewellery...
