Cream Enamel Bracelet Appraisal

Vintage Cream Enamel and Gold Tone Link Bracelet

This is a vintage link bracelet featuring a design of cream-colored enamel segments set within gold-tone metal. The bracelet is constructed from a series of repeating S-shaped or curved oval links, each approximately 2-3 cm in length, that are joined by smaller, circular gold-tone jump rings. Each of the larger links has a prominent cream enamel inlay on its convex, outer surface, creating a striking contrast with the shiny gold-tone metal borders and connecting elements. The enamel appears to be applied smoothly and evenly, showcasing a consistent creamy off-white color. The overall color scheme is elegant and timeless, indicative of mid-20th-century fashion. The bracelet features a toggle clasp mechanism for securing it around the wrist, which consists of a ring on one end and a bar on the other, designed to pass through the ring. The metal components show signs of wear consistent with age and use, including some minor surface scratches and possibly slight tarnishing or loss of plating on the gold-tone areas, particularly on the connecting rings and closer to the clasp. There are no visible chips or significant cracks in the enamel. The bracelet's weight, as indicated by the digital scale, is 39 grams, suggesting it has a substantial feel without being overly heavy. The craftsmanship indicates mass production common in costume jewelry, but with attention to detail in the enamel application. It likely dates from the mid-century to late 20th century.
