Kinked Gold Herringbone Bracelet (14k)

This item is a gold bracelet, primarily featuring a 'snake chain' or 'herringbone' style, characterized by its flat, closely linked segments that create a smooth, glistening surface. The material is gold, as indicated by its characteristic yellow luster and the visible '585' stamp, suggesting it is 14-karat gold (58.5% pure gold). The bracelet exhibits significant kinking and bending along its length, which is a common issue with delicate snake or herringbone chains, indicating potential stress or improper storage. The kinking is visible in multiple sections, causing the normally fluid chain to appear distorted and potentially compromised in its structural integrity. At one end, there is a small, functional clasp, likely a spring ring or a similar simple closure mechanism, also appearing to be made of gold. The craftsmanship appears to be machine-made, typical of mass-produced jewelry. There are no obvious signs of repair or heavy wear beyond the kinking, though the overall condition is largely defined by this kinking. This type of chain was particularly popular in the late 20th century. The quality of the gold is good, although the piece currently suffers from a condition issue that affects its aesthetic appeal and wearability.
