1962 Star link with bars - Bracelet in 18k gold - 7.25 inch length

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.

1962 Star link with bars - Bracelet in 18k gold - 7.25 inch length

Beautiful handmade craftsmanship in buttery solid 18K gold link! 

Handmade in 1962 by maker BFA who was active 1956-1976 in Stockholm, Sweden. The link type is called x-link or sometimes a star link. The individually made links create little x’s where they are soldered together. This variation has tiny cross bars as part of the pattern. 

This solid 18k gold bracelet weighs 11.6 grams and measures 7.25 inches (18cm) long. A nice medium width link at 6.5mm. 

Bracelet has a well working box clasp with double security eights.

Sophisticated and ready to give texture to your stack!
