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.

Find a diverse collection of bracelets that you can sort by style, stone cut and more on 1stDibs.

Questions About Antique Bracelet Bracelets
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    What a bracelet symbolizes is open to personal interpretation. Some people see bracelets as a status symbol.

    A suffragette bracelet is like a piece of jewelry that the suffragettes and others who supported the woman’s right to vote wore to show allegiance to the movement.

They wanted to display their femininity and wearing the suffrage colors of purple, white and green in jewelry was a way to do that. Shop a collection of authentic suffragette jewelry from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.

    How loose a bracelet should be depends on what type it is. Typically, a bangle bracelet should be around 0.75 to 1.25 inches larger than your wrist circumference for a looser fit. On the other hand, a cuff bracelet should provide a snug fit to keep it in place throughout the day. Look for cuffs that are about the same size as your wrist circumference for the best results. When shopping for tennis, leather, beaded and other bracelets secured by clasps, aim for a slightly loose fit by selecting a piece that is about 0.5 to 1 inch longer than your wrist circumference. Explore a wide variety of bracelets on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Yes, cuff bracelets can fall off. Because the traditional cuff bracelet lacks a closure or clasp and just slides on and off, there is a risk that it could fall off and become lost. However, you can greatly lower the likelihood of this occurring by choosing a cuff that fits snugly and giving your bracelet a squeeze after you have positioned it on your wrist to tighten it. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of cuff bracelets.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Cuff bracelets were especially popular during the 1970s and have arguably remained so ever since. However, the history of the cuff bracelet can be traced back to ancient times. Anthropologists and archaeologists have found examples of cuff bracelets among artifacts gathered from the ancient Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Maya. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of cuff bracelets.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    How big a cuff bracelet should be depends on the size of your wrist. Generally, cuff bracelets should fit snugly just above the wrist for a secure fit, but not so tightly that they are difficult to get on and off or uncomfortable to wear. For the best sizing, measure your arm just above your wrist bone in millimeters and use the measurement as a guide when selecting cuffs by length. Widths for cuff bracelets also vary. The wider the bracelet, the bolder it typically looks. Wider cuffs also tend to be heavier, so consider your preferences and the occasion when comparing options. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of cuff bracelets.
