Beskrivning: Armbandet är tillverkat i ett material kallat pinchbeck, en metallegering uppfunnen av den brittiske urmakaren Christopher Pinchbeck (1670–1732). Det består av koppar och zink och liknar guld, men är en betydligt billigare råvara. Smycken i pinchbeck tillverkades redan under 1700-talet, men industriellt tillverkade smycken spreds internationellt först under 1800-talet. Smycken i pinchbeck imiterar i regel det rådande modet för guldsmycken, men vände sig till en bredare kundkrets.

Description: This bracelet is made of a material called pinchbeck, an alloy invented by the British clockmaker Christopher Pinchbeck (1670–1732). It consists of copper and zinc and resembles gold but is considerably cheaper. Pinchbeck jewellery was made as early as the 18th century, but industrially produced pieces only reached the international market in the 19th century. They often emulated style that were in fashion for gold jewellery, but were sold to a wider customer range.
