Tank bracelet with champagne cork-shaped links in supple 18k (750 thousandths) rose yellow gold. Very good condition. A few rare dents. Dimensions: 18.5 x 2.8 cm. Gross weight: 100.9 g. Champagne! What if the usual semi-circular Tank mesh, representing the caterpillar tracks of Second World War tanks, were replaced by the shapes of champagne corks? The idea may seem daring for the time, but a goldsmith did it! After the war, in the mid-1940s, government control of gold led to an unprecedented black market and melt-down. Tank jewellery is massive, sumptuous and shiny, and is the result of melting down a lot of jewellery to take with you, in the event of another misfortune, part of your assets.
