Art Deco 14k Yellow Gold Intricate Mesh Wide Strap Bracelet

This is a significant example of Art Deco period jewelry, specifically a wide strap bracelet crafted in 14k yellow gold, estimated to be approximately 100 years old (circa 1920s). The piece features a sophisticated, flat-woven mesh construction with a repetitive openwork geometric diamond pattern. Each diamond motif is centered with a small bezel-set or raised floral/star element, demonstrating high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of the early 20th century. The bracelet is substantial in width, offering a 'cuff' aesthetic while remaining flexible due to its knitted metal structure. It is finished with a large, polished rectangular box clasp and is equipped with a fine safety chain for added security, which appears original to the piece. The gold exhibits a warm, rich patina indicative of its age. There is minimal visible kinking in the mesh, suggesting careful preservation. While no specific maker's mark is visible from this angle, the precision of the interlocking gold links suggests a skilled bench jeweler or a reputable manufacturer from the era. The condition appears excellent with minor surface wear consistent with age, and no visible breaks in the delicate lattice work.
