RARE VINTAGE 925 SILVER EQUESTRIAN HORSEBIT BRACELET WITH ENAMEL GUCCI LICENSE WORKSHOP, AREZZO 1970s.
 
This extraordinary Italian vintage silver bracelet from the 1970s is a massive and exclusive collector's piece in the iconic equestrian style. Weighing an impressive 44.77 grams, this luxurious statement jewelry piece was handcrafted in the world famous goldsmithing city of Arezzo. 
 
What makes it particularly special for connoisseurs is the historic Italian province hallmark "98 AR" precisely stamped inside a diamond shape, which accurately identifies the traditional workshop that operated during this era as an official licensed manufacturer for the high end jewelry lines of luxury houses such as Gucci in Tuscany. Virtually identical designs can be found on the market directly under the Gucci brand name, meaning this exquisite piece originates from the exact same master craftsmanship and production. The collector's object beautifully combines the classic equestrian aesthetics with modern Mid Century influences. At its center are two sculptural, interlocking stirrup elements made of solid, polished 925 sterling silver, connected by a sturdy, rolling tube element that is artfully decorated with a glossy enamel in deep royal blue and fine silver stripes. Two parallel rows of a supple, fluidly woven link chain attach to this central ornamental piece, and the bracelet closes securely via an integrated fold over clasp. 
 
This rare heirloom is in excellent vintage condition with perfectly preserved enamel and a noble patina, featuring a total weight of 44.77 grams, an overall length of approx.
