Delicate 18k double-link solid gold bracelet - Trelleborg, Sweden 1963

Welcome to my jewelry box. In addition to leather, I have a fondness for fine yet wearable solid gold and silver jewelry. In particular I love fine mid-century pieces from Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Italy. I scour European auction houses to find the best vintage pieces to import, to wear and to share.

Gold link jewelry is gold textile as jewelry - well that's how I think about my particular fascination with gold link. Obviously I'm a textile lover as I've devoted my design business to bending, sewing and musing over leather textiles. Solid gold forged into slinky chains is another chapter in my oohing and aahing over beautiful pliable yet strong constructions.

Delicate 1963 double-link solid 18k gold bracelet

A sweet one!! Delicate Swedish gold bracelet is now available.

The shape of these individually handmade links is what caught my eye. Each link is  slightly elongated which gives the chain pattern an elegant undulating rhythm. It's the sort of subtle shaping that would never be machine made.

This link type is called a double-link. Pairs of links run side by side - like two curb chains delicately soldered, link by link, to form a double length of links.

Piece is 18k solid gold and weighs 6.5 grams, measures 7.5 inches, and links are 3/16" wide (5mm). Marked for carat, maker, year and location. Triple crown hallmark for Sweden.

Box clasp with two safety loops fastens perfectly.

This is one of three double-link gold bracelets that I have at the moment. If you would like one that is heavier weight, check out these listings:

Double link thick 17.8g

Double link medium 11.9g

Double link delicate 6.5g
