This Mauboussin bracelet was made circa 1940, when gold for jewelry was becoming scarce due to the War. The designers' response to the popular "tank track" style, which ran against the house aesthetic, was limited - but their selective exploration of the form produced jewelry that was chic, sculptural and dynamic.
