Description from the seller
Vintage 18 kt Yellow Gold Multi-Strand Cable Bracelet – Twisted Wire / Rope Design – 11.179 g – Sweden
A substantial and highly distinctive vintage 18 kt yellow gold bracelet featuring an elegant multi-strand twisted cable construction and a total weight of approximately 11.179 grams. The bracelet is formed from numerous fine gold strands arranged together into a flexible rope-like design, creating a rich textured surface with excellent movement and a strong visual presence on the wrist.
Rather than using conventional individual chain links, this piece is constructed from multiple slender strands of yellow gold that have been twisted and grouped together to form a broad, flexible cable. The result is a sophisticated combination of a gold rope bracelet, multi-strand bracelet and woven gold bracelet, with a noticeably more refined appearance than a standard curb, Figaro or cable-link chain.
The numerous fine strands create continuous highlights across the surface. As the bracelet moves, each individual twisted section catches the light from a slightly different angle, producing a shimmering effect throughout the length of the jewellery. This textured construction gives the bracelet considerably more visual volume than its individual strands would suggest and highlights the warm colour of the 18 kt yellow gold.
The design is particularly characteristic of high-quality vintage gold jewellery, where fine wire and cable techniques were used to create substantial-looking pieces that remained flexible and comfortable to wear. The construction has elements of rope chain, cable jewellery, woven gold and torsade-style design, making it especially attractive to collectors searching for unusual vintage gold bracelets rather than conventional link jewellery.
Both ends are finished with smooth cylindrical yellow gold terminals, providing a clean transition between the flexible multi-strand body and the fastening mechanism. One terminal appears to carry a 750 fineness marking, indicating 18 kt gold. The fastening system is incorporated discreetly into the terminal construction, preserving the uninterrupted appearance of the bracelet when worn.
At approximately 11.179 g, this is a relatively substantial gold bracelet. The combination of its weight, intricate multi-wire construction and understated design gives the piece a noticeably luxurious feel without relying on gemstones or additional ornamentation. The gold itself and the workmanship are the primary decorative elements.
The bracelet has a distinctly elegant late-20th-century appearance and can be worn either as a standalone statement piece or alongside other yellow gold jewellery. Its clean design makes it particularly versatile: it could complement a vintage gold watch, classic rings or other textured gold bracelets while still being substantial enough to wear independently.
For buyers searching for 18 kt gold bracelets, vintage yellow gold bracelets, heavy gold bracelets, multi-strand gold jewellery, twisted gold bracelets, woven gold bracelets, rope bracelets, cable bracelets, vintage Swedish jewellery, Scandinavian gold jewellery, 750 gold bracelets, retro gold jewellery and collectible fine jewellery, this is a particularly attractive example.
Its design is also well suited to collectors of modernist jewellery and mid-century inspired gold jewellery, as the bracelet relies on repetition, texture and construction rather than decorative motifs. The tightly grouped gold strands create an almost textile-like quality, giving the metal an unusually soft and fluid visual appearance.
The bracelet is presented in excellent vintage condition with only minimal signs of previous wear. Fine surface marks may be visible under close inspection, particularly on the polished terminal fittings, as expected from a genuine previously worn gold bracelet. These minor signs of use do not significantly detract from the overall presentation.
The individual strands appear well integrated throughout the bracelet and retain their characteristic twisted appearance. As with any vintage multi-strand jewellery, the photographs should be examined carefully for the exact condition of the fine gold wires, fastening system, terminal fittings and hallmarks.
No gemstones are present, allowing the design to focus entirely on the warmth, texture and craftsmanship of the 18 kt yellow gold.
