MID CENTURY WOVEN AND TEXTURED 14K YELLOW GOLD BRACELET
Designed by POM, circa 1960s
Item # 011PNW15A
A delightful and most elegant mid-century bracelet executed entirely in 14k yellow gold, this little bracelet is rather substantial at 24.4 grams and is most complex with alternating high polish and relief-beaded woven bands that wrap endlessly to create the form. The ends are secured with the original 1965 patented spring-tongue box clasp with safety catch designed by Geldwerth Simon, the patent for this cold-stamped faintly on the underside of the tongue ("3303517").
An absolutely gorgeous piece with a refined sense of playfulness that made POM's designs so popular during the period.
