Finding the Right Bracelets for You

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.

Questions About Belt Buckle Bracelets
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    A belt buckle is a fastener that holds two ends of a belt in place. Manufacturers produce buckles out of a variety of materials, including nylon, plastic and metals such as sterling silver, brass, zinc alloy and pewter. In addition to serving a functional purpose, buckles also enhance the visual appeal of belts. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of belts from some of the world's top boutiques.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    What a Gucci belt buckle is made of varies from piece to piece. Often, the gold-toned buckles are brass. For silver-toned buckles, Gucci typically uses a base metal plated with palladium to create the iconic interlocking G logo buckle. Find a diverse assortment of Gucci belts from some of the world's top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, to polish your Gucci belt buckle, wipe the metal buckle down with a dry cloth and vinegar to dissolve the tarnish. Apply a small amount of metal polish to a cotton cloth, and rub for three to five minutes. Find Gucci belts and other accessories from the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    To tell if a Gucci belt buckle is real, look at how it attaches to the belt. An authentic Gucci buckle will always be permanently attached to the belt, while on some replicas, the buckle can be removed. The screw at the attachment point is also a clue. On authentic belts, the screw will have the same finish as the buckle, and it will be located just above the embossed label and serial number. Shop a variety of Gucci belts on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Montana Silversmiths belt buckles are made of sterling silver, but they're typically coated in rhodium to make them both appear brighter and avoid oxidation. The rhodium keeps the belt buckle looking shiny for longer.
