Title: Vintage Elisabeth Treskow 18k Gold Geometric Hinge Cuff Bracelet c 1930s

Description: This vintage 18k yellow gold cuff bracelet, stamped 750 and ET, is an exceptional example of work attributed to Elisabeth Treskow, one of the most influential goldsmiths of the twentieth century. Known for reviving ancient granulation techniques and blending them seamlessly with modernist design, Treskow created pieces that feel both archaeological and avant-garde. This bracelet reflects that mastery.

Dating to the 1930s, the cuff features a bold architectural composition of repeating geometric motifs, including squares, triangles, stepped forms, and linear reliefs arranged in harmonized panels. Polished surfaces are set against textured beadwork and engraved patterns, creating visual depth that echoes the era’s Art Deco sensibilities while signaling Treskow’s distinctive interpretation of historical goldworking traditions. The two-panel hinged construction allows the bracelet to open and close securely, while the wide 1 1/4-inch profile and substantial weight of 100.9 grams give it a strong sculptural presence. Measuring 8 inches in length, it offers a generous and comfortable fit on the wrist.

The design embodies the spirit of mid-century European modernism, where artists drew inspiration from antiquity while experimenting with geometry and structure. Treskow’s influence is evident in the disciplined use of granulation, the rigorous balance of each panel, and the controlled, architectural rhythm that defines the bracelet. Wear consistent with age is present, particularly to the bead-textured areas, and is expected for a piece of this period.
