1940s Retro 18k Pink Gold Wide Tank Bracelet

About the Item

1940s Retro 18k pink gold wide tank bracelet. The 1940s retro 18K pink gold wide tank bracelet represents a significant intersection of fashion and craftsmanship in vintage jewelry. Characterized by its distinctive "tank tread" design, the bracelet features alternating rectangular lozenge and round domed links that evoke the robust aesthetics of military machinery, reflecting the era's tumultuous historical context. The use of pink gold—a blend of gold and copper—adds a warm hue that enhances its visual appeal while also serving as a testament to the innovative metalworking techniques prevalent during this decade. The wide profile of these bracelets not only emphasizes their boldness but also aligns with contemporary trends favoring statement pieces in women's accessories. Moreover, the cultural significance of such jewelry extends beyond mere ornamentation; it symbolizes empowerment and resilience among women during World War II. As women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers, accessories like the tank bracelet became emblems of strength and independence. This shift is mirrored in design choices that prioritize both form and function. The geometrical shapes inherent in tank bracelets reflect an industrial aesthetic that was both modern for its time and timeless in its appeal. SPECIFICATIONS: METAL: 18k pink gold. WEIGHT: 76.4 grams. DIMENSIONS: approximately 7.5" long by 1.25" wide. CONDITION: high magnification photographs show considerable design details, and this bracelet is in good condition, all consistent with age and wear. QUESTIONS?
