Retro Tank Chunky Bracelet In 18ct Yellow Gold

About the Item

The king of Retro, this cool chunky bracelet comes in the iconic “tank-tread” style of the period, making it perfect for any fashion terrain! Stylishly crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold, the weighty links are designed to resemble tank tires/tracks and are fastened with safety chains for additional protection. This style was named after the armoured vehicles of WWI and was first introduced in the 1919 Cartier Tank wristwatch. It became even more popular during WWII as a show of patriotism and represented the era’s industrial theme. Dated from the 1930s-1950s, this retro chunky bracelet aligns beautifully with the exaggerated forms used at the time to create an illusion of size. Jewellery became bold, substantial, and with lots of presence to offset the serious, sombre, and strict styles the war invoked. Measuring …cm in width and expanding to …cm when stretched, this vintage stunner makes a bold and elegant statement. Wear it alone or mix it with other bracelets from your collection if you're feeling adventurous.
