Georges Lenfant 18 Karat Yellow Gold Woven Circles Bracelet
Located in New York, NY
Georges Lenfant 18 Karat Woven Circles Bracelet 55 grams 7.5 inches length 0.90" width Made in France c.1960s-70s Georges Lenfant's name resonates deeply within the circles of vintage dealers and discerning collectors, yet it's not uncommon for owners of Lenfant pieces to be unaware of the master behind their treasures. This anonymity is a testament to the breadth of Lenfant's collaborations, as he and his son, Jacques, lent their expertise to nearly every prestigious jewelry house imaginable, from Cartier to Van Cleef & Arpels. The hallmark of the Lenfants—a diamond-shaped stamp bearing their initials—often adorned jewelry alongside the esteemed names of these iconic houses. However, their influence extended beyond jewelry alone; it graced the gold bracelets of watches crafted by renowned brands such as Rolex, Hermès, and Vacheron Constantin. This subtle mark of distinction symbolized not just the collaboration of talents but also the commitment to excellence that defined the Lenfant legacy. Georges Lenfant's genius lay in his mastery of gold, a material he manipulated with unparalleled skill and finesse. Etching 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.
