How Much are French Diamond Bracelets?
Finding the Right bracelets for You
Today, antique and vintage bracelets are versatile and universally loved accessories that can add polish and pizzazz to any ensemble.
Bracelets were among the jewels discovered to have been buried with Pharaoh Tutankhamun when his tomb was unearthed in 1922, and wrist and arm bracelets were allegedly worn by Queen Puabi in Sumer, southern Mesopotamia. But preceding the adornments of Ancient Egypt and elsewhere, the people of prehistoric times likely wore the decorative accessory, fashioning it from shells and fish bones. When the Bronze Age allowed for more durable materials and semiprecious stones to be incorporated into jewelry, bracelets became a treasured symbol of wealth.
In the thousands of years following the debut of the world’s first bracelets, the artistry behind this common accessory has only broadened, with designers at popular jewelry houses growing more venturesome over time. David Webb looked to nature for his Animal Kingdom bracelets, and for her best-selling bracelets and more at Tiffany & Co., Elsa Peretti would frequently do the same. From bangles to tennis bracelets, the modern age offers plenty of options.
Internationally acclaimed bracelet designs have on occasion become powerful symbols of status, style and, in the case of Cartier's iconic design, love. The Cartier Love bracelet can be found on the wish list of most jewelry lovers and on the wrist of some of the world’s biggest stars. Its arrangement of mock screwheads and distinctive functionality — it was initially locked and unlocked with an accompanying vermeil screwdriver — is an enduring expression of loyalty, unity and romance. (Do you know how to spot a fake Cartier Love bracelet?)
While the Love bracelet has played a role in the skyrocketing popularity of cuff-style bracelets, they are far from the only glamorous option for collectors. Make a statement with an Art Deco design, a style that sees all kinds of iterations fitted with studded cuffs, one-of-a-kind shapes and dazzling insets. A chunky vintage gold bracelet in the Retro style will prove eye-catching and elevate any outfit.
One of the best things about bracelets, however, is that you never have to choose just one. Style icon Jacqueline Kennedy stacked her Croisillon bracelets — designed by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. — with such frequency that the ornate bangles were eventually dubbed “Jackie bracelets” by reporters. Contemporary silver pieces can easily complement each other, rendering a layering of luxury almost a necessity.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The significance or meaning of a diamond tennis bracelet is open to interpretation. Some people associate the bracelet with the passage of time, while others believe it represents true love. This accessory gets its name from an incident involving a professional tennis match during the late 1970s. It was halted because a diamond and gold bracelet worn by celebrated player Chris Evert had broken during play, and she scrambled to look for it on the court. The diamond tennis bracelets worn these days differ little from those crafted during the 1970s, although they’re likely outfitted with sturdier clasps that prevent them from coming apart during extensive tennis matches. Shop a collection of vintage and modern tennis bracelets from some of the world’s top jewelers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The Cartier Love bracelet has 204 brilliant-cut diamonds arranged in a pavé setting. Together, the total weight of the gemstones is 2 carats. It comes in 18-karat yellow, white and rose gold. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Cartier bracelets.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022One of the easiest ways to tell if a diamond tennis bracelet is real is to do what’s known as the “breath test.” Put the bracelet up to your mouth and breathe on it to fog it up like a mirror. Since condensation doesn’t stick to a diamond’s surface, the fog should clear up within a few seconds. If it doesn’t, you’re likely looking at a fake. Shop a collection of genuine diamond tennis bracelets on 1stDibs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The number of diamonds in a 10-carat tennis bracelet varies. A carat rating for a tennis bracelet refers to the total weight of all of the diamonds in the piece. As a result, a bracelet may have 20, 5-carat diamonds; 10, 1-carat diamonds or another number of diamonds of a different weight. You'll find a variety of diamond tennis bracelets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023How you open a Cartier Diamond Collection bracelet depends on the piece. Most bracelets produced by the French luxury maker have a release mechanism on their undersides. Consult the instructions included with your bracelet for specific advice on how to open or close it. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of Cartier diamond bracelets.
