I know it's a stretch but looking for a 18k gold 7077 flat link stretch link...

I am thinking there are not many parts laying around for an old 1957 18k gold 7077 bracelet, but if anybody has a possible source or parts dealer that has gold links for old bracelets - I am trying to find a stretch link. The bracelet I have had the stretch links soldered may moons ago, probably by a gold smith that thought he was doing a repair. But it turns out the stretch really helps when going on and off of the wrist based on the length of the folding clasp. Picture don't do it justice but I will say the gold bracelet really looks and feels great on the wrist with an old gold constellation. Hurts me to think that most of these were probably melted over the years...

Where solder has joined, man can set asunder... depending on what it was soldered with. It's worth asking a manufactung jeweler to see whether she can get it apart.

I think, it would be much easier and probably cheaper for you to get a goldsmith and let him/her work out a new link or two.

I don't think your links have been soldered. An 18kt 7077 like this has double stretch links compared to the single stretch links of the later steel flat links. To me it just looks they have been extremely heavily polished.

I think the only chance you'll have of finding spare links is to find another complete bracelet and use it for parts. I've never seen loose 18kt double links for sale
