How Much is a Good Antique Bracelet?
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.
- What is a good bracelet size?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024What a good size for a bracelet is depends on the type of bracelet and the size of your wrist. The inner circumference of a cuff bracelet should generally be only slightly bigger than your wrist circumference to ensure a secure fit. People tend to buy bangles around 0.75 to 1 inch larger than their wrist sizes. Experts generally recommend adding 0.5 inches to your wrist size when purchasing other types of bracelets. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of bracelets.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The right carat size for a tennis bracelet is really a matter of preference. While a high carat size denotes finer jewelry, the material becomes softer and more prone to damage. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage and contemporary tennis bracelets from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Traditionally, the hand that you wear a bracelet on for good luck is the left hand. The belief can be traced back to ancient healing traditions that associate the left side of the body with recovery and balance. Keep in mind that not everyone follows this practice, so you'll often find people wearing bracelets on their right as well as their left hands out of personal preference. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of bracelets.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Yes, cuff bracelets look good on men. In fact, any kind of bracelet can be a stylish choice for a man. Cuffs are especially appealing because they can work well alone or layered with other bracelets, like beads and bangles. Find a large collection of cuff bracelets from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
