14k Gold Hoops Appraisal

14k Gold Filigree Link Bracelet and Hoops Set

This jewelry set includes a yellow gold link bracelet and a pair of small individual hoops with a stud finding. The bracelet features eight distinct marquise-shaped (navette) links, each measuring approximately 15mm in length. Each link is crafted with intricate openwork filigree details, showcasing a series of scroll-like wirework patterns within a solid gold border. The links are joined by small, circular jump rings, lending flexibility and movement to the piece. It is secured by a functional lobster-style claw clasp, which appears to be stamped with '14k' or similar gold purity markings on the end tab. The metal exhibits a bright, yellow-gold polish with minimal surface scratching, though light oxidation is present in the deeper recesses of the filigree work. Using the adjacent penny as a size reference, the bracelet is estimated to be approximately 7 to 7.25 inches in total length. Accompanying the bracelet are two thin gold hoops; one features a perpendicular post for a pierced earring configuration. The overall design suggests a late 20th-century aesthetic, likely the 1980s or 1990s, characterized by the lightweight yet decorative use of yellow gold. The craftsmanship utilizes a stamped filigree technique, which allowed for a detailed appearance while maintaining a wearable, light total gram weight. No significant damage, repairs, or missing segments are visible from the image.
