22k Straits Floral Gold Bracelet Vintage
22k Floral Gold Bracelet
Mid-century Chinese gold bracelet set in 22k.
An articulating gold jewelry modelled after lace, this Straits Chinese bracelet comprises panel components linked up to form its train.
This bracelet is of Straits Chinese tradition, its taxonomy is a family of lace-like bracelets of varying height, ranging from 3, 5, 7 to a 10-row.
These ‘lace’ golden bracelets were and are sought after for being in-between bracelets and bangles.
These types of gold ‘charm’ bracelets were made throughout the 20th century, since intricacy in floral motifs twinned with the Straits Peranakan clothing inseparably.
At 2.2cm tall with a 4-ball stack, this ‘type’ is also the last of the panel work of bracelets made through traditional craftsmanship.
The bracelet is considered a perfect middle width, thicker than dainty stacks but thinner than the wide wraps.
The bracelet measures 6″.
