9ct Gold JG&S Track-Link Bracelet Birmingham 1972
7799
A substantial and beautifully articulated 9ct yellow-gold brutalist track-link bracelet, hallmarked in Birmingham in 1972 and bearing the maker's mark JG&S for John Grinsell & Sons.
The bracelet is composed of bold, repeating links with a strongly architectural profile, combining the graphic clarity and tactile weight characteristic of British brutalist jewellery from the early 1970s. Each broad, sculptural link is precisely joined to create fluid movement around the wrist, while retaining the piece's distinctive geometric presence.
Its warm yellow-gold tone softens the industrial character of the design, giving it an easy balance of strength and refinement. The substantial construction makes this an especially satisfying piece to wear alone, though its clean, confident form also lends itself well to layering with other gold jewellery.
A handsome example of period British goldsmithing by John Grinsell & Sons, a Birmingham maker associated with well-made and wearable gold jewellery. A timeless statement bracelet with an unmistakably 1970s sensibility.
