Collection: BRACELETS AND BANGLES

This collection brings together a selection of antique and vintage bracelets and bangles , original pieces of period jewelry from different decades and styles.

Bracelets and bangles have been part of the history of personal adornment since ancient times. From time immemorial, they were used not only as decorative accessories, but also as objects with symbolic value, offering protection and representing the status or identity of the wearer.

Throughout the centuries, bracelets have been crafted from a wide variety of materials, including silver, gold, bronze, leather, wood, and natural stones , chosen for both their beauty and cultural significance. In ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, bracelets were symbols of protection, power, and social distinction, and were a natural part of everyday attire.

During the 19th century , especially in the Victorian era, bracelets acquired a distinctly symbolic and ornamental character, featuring romantic motifs and meticulously crafted designs. Later, in the early decades of the 20th century, modernist movements introduced cleaner lines and a more geometric aesthetic, which evolved into the structured elegance of Art Deco in the 1920s and 30s.

In the second half of the 20th century, bracelets continued to transform, incorporating natural materials and a freer, more expressive aesthetic, especially in alternative cultural contexts.

This collection brings together a selection of antique and vintage bracelets and bangles , chosen for their authenticity, craftsmanship, and historical significance. These pieces are designed for both contemporary wear and collecting, and are described with clear information about materials, era, and other relevant characteristics.
