Retro bracelet crafted in 14k rose and yellow gold, featuring a series of rectangular rose gold links with open geometric centers. Each link is joined by three parallel, ribbed yellow gold connectors, creating an articulated design with contrasting colors and textures. Finished with a yellow gold spring ring clasp.
Historical Note
The Retro period, spanning approximately the late 1930s through the early 1950s, marked a shift away from the platinum and diamond-intensive designs of the Art Deco era toward jewelry emphasizing gold and sculptural forms. During World War II, platinum was designated a strategic material for military and industrial use, contributing to the increased prominence of gold in jewelry. Rose gold became particularly fashionable, often combined with yellow or green gold to create contrasting tones.
On Dating
The bracelet's open rectangular links, contrasting rose and yellow gold, and ribbed connectors are consistent with Retro jewelry of the 1940s. These design elements continued into the early 1950s. Based on its construction and stylistic characteristics, we date the bracelet to circa 1940s–1950s.
