$195 USDVintage 1940s Mexican Silver Chunky Tank Track Link Bracelet
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Bracelets
Superb vintage 40s link bracelet from Mexico combines traditional wirework and beading details with the tank track design so popular during and in the wake of WWII. The construction of the bracelet is ingenious in more ways than one. For one thing, it is precision-engineered to lie smoothly when worn despite the flexibility to each link. For another, the angular, block-y links are hollow, allowing them to create the illusion of heft without uncomfortable weight on the wrist (though the bracelet ...
