Gold and Diamond 'Hugs and Kisses' (XO) Link Bracelet

This is a classic 'Hugs and Kisses' linked bracelet, characterized by a repeating pattern of satin-finished yellow gold 'O' shaped oval links alternating with polished white metal 'X' shaped links. The 'X' segments are pavé-set with small round brilliant-cut diamonds or diamond stimulants, creating a shimmering contrast against the brushed yellow gold. The bracelet measures approximately 7 inches in length and is constructed with a series of articulating hinges that provide flexibility and comfort on the wrist. The closure features a traditional box clasp with a dual-wing safety latch for added security. While no visible hallmarks are discernible in the photograph, the style and construction are representative of late 20th-century fine jewelry, likely dating from the 1980s to early 2000s. The piece shows minor signs of wear consistent with age, including light surface scratches on the gold links and a slight tarnishing on the white metal sections, though no missing stones or structural failures are apparent. The craftsmanship reflects commercial-grade fine jewelry manufacturing typical of major retail jewelers during its era.
