info
The impact and influence of WWII on jewelry design is boldly illustrated in this 1940's bracelet. The innovative tank tread links pivot smoothly which allows the bracelet to wrap fluidly around the wrist. Each link terminates with bullet cut glass intensifying the war motif while, at the same time, being offset by the delicate shimmer from rows and rows of tiny channel set crystals. The bullet glass is a rich red that is striking and fresh. There is a light amount of wear and darkening to the setting as well as five crystals missing from the "treads". This bracelet embodies glamour and a strong femininity as well as the zeitgeist of the time.
