As a result, some gems may be slightly polished and the metal may have a delicate patina. The belt shape was widely used in the 50s and 60s and into the 70s, whether as bracelets, rings or secret watches. From the '50s onwards, following the "tank" style fashion launched in the '40s, jewelry shapes became more geometric, and the links of bracelets featured advanced and original goldsmithing techniques. For gold bracelets, these included Polish mesh (woven like a tapestry), braided mesh and tubogaz. The jewelry of these years was heavy in gold (the price of gold being more affordable at the time).
