Antique 14k Gold Wide Mesh Gate Bracelet

This is a substantial antique wide-link bracelet crafted in 14k yellow gold, likely dating back to the early 20th century (circa 1920s). The piece features a complex, repeating geometric lozenge or diamond-patterned mesh design that exhibits high-level goldwork craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 3.5 ounces (roughly 100 grams), the bracelet is exceptionally heavy for its type, suggesting a solid construction rather than electroforming. The gold has a warm, rich tone characteristic of its age, with a light patina visible in the recessed areas of the intricate texture. The design is comprised of vertical rows of interconnected textured links, forming a flexible yet architectural 'gate' or strap style. It is secured with a wide box clasp that integrates seamlessly into the design, and it retains a secondary safety chain with a spring-ring clasp for added security. Condition appears excellent with no visible breaks in the mesh or significant thinning of the metal. While specific hallmarks are not visible in the top-down view, pieces of this caliber from the era often feature stamps on the inner tongue of the clasp. The level of detail and weight indicates a luxury item from the post-Victorian or Art Deco era.
