Vintage 14K Yellow Gold Wide Link Cuff Bracelet, Attributed to Schiaparelli, Concealed Hamilton Watch, Blue Cabochon Clasp, 8", 152.5g
This is a substantial, retro-style link cuff bracelet crafted in gold that tests as and is stamped 14K in multiple locations. The bold, geometric interlocking link design, scale, and overall quality are consistent with vintage Schiaparelli jewelry of the mid-20th century; the piece is unsigned, which was not uncommon for the house, so it is offered as attributed to Schiaparelli rather than authenticated — Devine & Co. cannot confirm maker attribution on an unsigned piece regardless of stylistic consistency. The clasp is set with a single blue cabochon-cut stone in a square outline, securing the hinged closure. Concealed within the center link is a hidden watch face and manual-wind movement signed "Hamilton," accessed by lifting the front link cover — a clever concealed-watch design typical of the era. The bracelet measures approximately 8 inches in length and weighs 152.55 grams total (149 grams without the movement).
Condition
This bracelet is in very good vintage condition and has not been polished, retaining its original surface. Wear consistent with age is present, including light surface scratching typical of a gold link bracelet of this weight and era. The concealed Hamilton movement is intact and the watch is currently running, but it has not been serviced and is sold as-is with no guarantee of continued function or timekeeping accuracy.
