French Vintage 18ct Gold 'Chaîne d'Ancre' Style Bracelet Ca 1970

About the Item

A vintage yellow gold 'Chaîne d'Ancre' style bracelet, French circa 1970. The bracelet is formed of twenty 18ct yellow gold uniform anchor links with a textured rope twist textured finish, with a circular ring at one end and a T-bar at the other forming a toggle clasp. Period circa 1970 Origin French Setting 18ct yellow gold with French marks and a later Italian gold mark Weight 35.4 grams Dimensions Length: 19cm/7.4" Each link: 1.3cm/0.5" Condition Very fine Directors Notes This bracelet, although unsigned is undoubtedly created at the same time as the iconic Hermès design, which dates back to 1938, when Robert Dumas, a member of the Hermès family was inspired by the shape of the links on a ship’s anchor. He designed a bracelet echoing these and christened it ‘Chaîne d'Ancre’. The bracelet was described by the Maison as a “naturally balanced jewel with a sporty yet chic allure” and they have been reinventing it ever since to form the basis of designs for necklaces, rings, earrings and of course bracelets.
