Carolina Bucci Blue Woven Thread Wrap Bracelet in 18 Karat Yellow Gold
Located in Miami, FL
Woven thread wrap bracelet designed by Carolina Bucci. Beautiful iconic thread bracelet, created in Firenze Italy by the jewelry designer Carolina Bucci. It was crafted from woven blue silk and yellow gold of 18 karats, with high polished finish. Fitted at the ends with tubular lock and a hinged slash for extra safety. Weight: 10.70 Grams, (6.86 Dwt). Size: Length of 6.75 Inches (17.2 Cm). Measurements: The width is 13 mm (0.51 Inches). Hallmarks Stamped with the maker's mark, the mark for the assay of the gold and signed, "CAROLINA BUCCI .750 *751FI". Carolina Bucci, born in Florence, Italy in October 1976. Is an Italian jewellery designer that lives between London and New York City and is the first female to lead her family's jewelry company. Bucci is the 4th generation in her family line of jewelers, which began when her great-grandfather, Ferdinando Bucci, opened a workshop in Florence, Italy, specialising in the sale and repair of gentleman's pocket watches. He eventually began to make bespoke gold chains to accessorize his clients timepieces, and from there he moved into the production of fine jewellery. His son, Fosco, took over the business in 1920, by which point they had gained success across Italy, and moved the showroom to Piazza Santo Stefano, next to Florence's Ponte Vecchio. After the Second World War, her father grew the business internationally, particularly in the US and Japan, whilst continuing to anchor the manufacture of the jewellery in the family's Florentine workshops. Following her graduation from FIT where she studied fine arts and jewellery design, Bucci returned to Florence where she launched her first collections: "Lucky", a reinvention of the friendship bracelets she made as a child, '‘Woven’', a reinvention of centuries-old Florentine textile looms to weave gold and silk threads. She followed those up with her ‘Florentine Finish’ as seen on Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold...

Diamond, Antique and Vintage Bracelets

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.
