New in Chain Bracelets

When you’re sifting through your classic gold bracelets, diamond bracelets or other elegant links to wear for an evening out, remember that antique and vintage chain bracelets complete and complement any style.

Chain bracelets typically have connected links of metal, often gold or silver, and can be minimally simple or adorned with charms. Examples of chain bracelets date back to Ancient Rome.

Your favorite chain bracelet, like a lot of vintage and antique bracelets, can accent your ensemble and serve as a colorful expression of your personal fashion sense, whether you’re pairing your best tennis bracelet with a stylish Chanel suit or stacking a handful of bangles to wear with your trusty blue jeans.

And styling bracelets is a cinch: Don’t overwhelm a slim wrist with a chunky link chain bracelet, for example. An understated, single-strand leather piece will work better in that instance, while a charm bracelet — one passed down as an heirloom, perhaps — could add a focal point without too much bulkiness.

Antique chain bracelets add unique charm to ensembles and are sure to be cherished keepsakes in any jewelry box. Art Deco chain bracelets, which are frequently embellished with colorful gemstones, are works of art that spark conversations and welcome compliments. The elegance of the 1920s and ’30s is at home with evening wear as well as a classic suit or sheath dress.

Eye-catching bracelets made around the world can adorn wrists and become treasured gifts. Browse gold and jeweled antique chain bracelets on 1stDibs.
