"Textures fascinate craftsmen today more than ever before", wrote Graham Hughes in 1963, then secretary of the historic Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, the English professional association of goldsmiths (Hughes, Modern Jewellery, London 1963). Gold had become the major theme of the post-war period, radiating prosperity and optimism. As it was increasingly allowed to stand on its own without placing precious stones in the middle ground, people played with textures. This high-carat gold bracelet also dates from this period. Its rich, warm glowing colour makes it easy to understand why the sun was once considered the symbol of gold and the philosopher's stone in alchemy, which was supposed to transform base metals into gold. It presents us with the luxurious metal in an unusual pattern: at first glance, it looks as if rings grooved on all sides are intertwined in pairs and held in place by smaller, shinier rings. On closer inspection, however, it becomes apparent that each pair of rings is actually a single element intertwined to form a kind of infinite figure of eight. A real puzzle! This unusual bracelet is a luxurious example of the 1960s desire to play with light, shadow, form - and rich gold. A piece that is fun to look at!
