Welcome to my jewelry box. In addition to leather, I have a fondness for fine yet wearable solid gold and silver jewelry. In particular I love fine mid-century pieces from Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Italy. I import the best pieces from Europe to wear and share.

Gold link jewelry is gold textile as jewelry - well that's how I think about my particular fascination with gold link. Obviously I'm a textile lover as I've devoted my design business to bending, sewing and musing over leather textiles. Solid gold forged into slinky chains is another chapter in my oohing and aahing over beautiful pliable yet strong constructions.

1963 x-link 18k solid gold textile bracelet - Swedish vintage handmade
X link is the first gold link style that lit me up for gold textiles. The movement of the x-link style is silky and flexible and oh so unique!! I can't get enough of this style!!
Swedish vintage bracelet made in Sweden in 1963. 18k gorgeous gold, 7.25 inch length and 8mm width, a nice 10.5 grams, perfect working hidden box clasp. This piece has hallmarks for maker year and gold purity. She is in excellent vintage condition.
The link type is called x-link; the individually made links create little x’s where they are soldered together. Imagine the painstaking work that went into each and every solder.
Dark areas just are reflections from the room.
Two bracelets are shown. This listing is for the more narrow x-link bracelet. The wider piece
