Antique bracelets

An antique bracelet encircles the wrist with a rigid or articulated structure, or a series of links. Its construction determines its flexibility, how it sits and how it fastens. Hinges, fastenings and any safety mechanisms matter as much as decoration when choosing a piece to wear.

The current stock at Satti Jewelry includes antique bracelets from the Victorian and Belle Époque periods. Their differences can be seen in the design of the links, the metalwork and the arrangement of the stones. When comparing these jewels, consider their internal length, width and articulation. A bracelet should allow enough room for comfort without risking slipping off the hand.

Hallmarks provide information about the metal and, depending on their legibility, about manufacture. Old stone cuts also deserve particular attention. Their proportions and facets influence the way they reflect light. Condition should be assessed as a whole: wear to the links, signs of repairs, the operation of the clasp and the security of the stone settings. These details help explain the characteristics of the jewel and the precautions needed when wearing it.

Complimentary insured delivery is included. A certificate of authenticity accompanies each piece.
