Flowing gold bracelets made of ornamental links enjoyed great popularity around the turn of the 19th century. Like many other innovations in the field of jewellery, they satisfied the desire for softer and more supple forms, in contrast to the jewellery of the previous generation, which was often perceived as too rigid and bulky. As one could read in the influential magazine *Der Bazar* in December 1897: “How invigorating, for example, is genuine, artistically crafted gold jewellery for one’s wardrobe! For bracelets, the chain form has generally become the norm; solid hoops are now rarely made.” This bracelet is a typical example of this style of jewellery and features a uniform pattern of elongated decorative links. At its center, the bracelet features a large, platinum-set element designed around a large old-cut diamond. Its elegant design, composed of arches and curves, reveals the influence of Art Nouveau, which became popular in Germany thanks to its widespread coverage in the magazine “Die Jugend.” Smaller diamonds and a few emeralds further enhance the design. The bracelet is in very good condition and came to us from Dresden. Thanks to its safety clasp, it can be worn with confidence. Quoted from “Der Bazar. Illustrirte Damen-Zeitschrift,” Vol. 43, No. 47 (December 13, 1897).
