Retro 14k "Gypsy" Roma Bangle Cuff Bracelet
About the Item
The history of the American Gypsy and Gypsy jewelry crafted by and for the Roma people remains a tale of intrigue and fascination of many. Roma people first arrived to the United States as slaves with Columbus in 1492, however, the largest wave of Romani immigrants came after the abolition of Romani slavery in Romania in 1864. The Roma were nomadic people and did not believe in bank accounts, stocks or bonds, so they wore their wealth on their bodies. Romani tradition was against selling gold unless there was a dire need and all but one piece, which was given to the eldest daughter, was buried with the deceased. The motifs were consistent, twisted wire, star-shaped flowers, engraved lines, horseshoes, and the profiles of women, like cameos, which they called gypsy queens. Due to the rarity and intrigue of Romani jewelry, the value is not in the gold itself, but in the beauty and scarcity of the piece.
This American Gypsy bracelet from the Retro(ca1940s) is an absolutely gorgeous example of historical Romani jewelry. This beautiful cuff bracelet is crafted in 14k gold, and is adorned with intricate etchings that include floral and scrolling motifs. The center of the front of the bracelet features a three-dimensional profile of a young woman, who is depicted with a dainty updo, jewelry, a tiara, and flowing garments. Her eyes gaze into the distance and her face is resting in a neutral position. The woman is surrounded by a horseshoe-like border, which is also decorated with etchings. The front of the bracelet also features 4, three-dimensional flowers, which beautifully tie into the piece's whimsical nature. The bracelet secures with a hidden push clasp, and the cuff also features an additional safety to further secure the bracelet. The interior of the cuff and the tongue of the push clasp are both stamped "14K". An incredible find and historically rich piece, this bracelet is sure to make any collection complete!
Measurement: The inside of the bracelet (where a wrist would rest) measures 2 3/8" wide and 2 1/4" tall. The bracelet has a weight of 58.1dwt.
Condition: The overall condition of this bracelet is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage gold setting or to the etched design. The push clasp and safety are both secure and in working order.

Located in Boston, MA
Exuding minimalist glamour, this vintage 14k yellow gold cuff bracelet from the 1990s makes a bold, contemporary statement. The bracelet takes the form of a substantial wide cuff that wraps regally around the wrist. With a substantial width of 0.88 inches (2.2 cm), the cuff has an undeniable presence and eye-catching appeal.
Rendered in rich 14k yellow gold, the cuff showcases the eternal beauty of the warm, buttery precious metal. The minimalist design allows the natural radiance of the gold to take center stage. The outer surface has a bright polished finish that catches the light beautifully, while the interior side has a satin brushed finish for a subtle contrast in textures.
Despite its striking, oversized width, the cuff remains comfortable to wear thanks to the hollow, open design on the back side. This ingenious construction allows the cuff to have an impressive weight of 35.14 grams without feeling heavy or cumbersome on the wrist.
With an open design that slips over the wrist, the circumference is 7” which fits most wrists. Perfect for day or night, this iconic 1990s piece epitomizes understated luxury with its timeless combination of 14k gold and a chic, minimalist aesthetic.
