Worn & Cherished
Bangles
The simplest and most enduring form of wrist jewellery. Our antique and vintage bangles range form fine plain gold rounds to richly decorated gem-set pieces. Worn singly for elegance or stacked for effect, a bangle improves with every year it’s worn.
Articulated & Considered
Bracelets
Link bracelets, tennis bracelets, charm bracelets and more. Antique and vintage bracelets reward close attention, the quality of their construction and the character of their stones are rarely matched in modern pieces.
Presence & Weight
Cuffs
The most commanding of wrist pieces. Our antique and vintage cuffs are chosen for their presence and the quality of their making – pieces that sit on the wrist with authority and speak for themselves.
Why Antique Bracelets & Bangles?
Made to be worn every single day
Antique and vintage bracelets and bangles were built last. The gauge of gold, the quality of the settings, the care taken in the construction all speak to a time when jewellery was made to be worn constantly, handed down and worn again.
A Victorian bangle that has been on someone’s wrist every day for a hundred and fifty years is not weakened by that, it’s authenticated by it. These are pieces that improve with wear.
“A bracelet stacked, a bangle worn alone – either way, these pieces hold their own.”
How to wear them
Worn on every occasion
Antique and vintage bracelets and bangles are among the most versatile pieces in any jewellery collection. Here are three ways our clients love to wear them.
01
Alone, Every Day
A single antique bangle worn daily becomes something you don’t notice you’re wearing – until you leave the house without it. The kind of pieces that quietly becomes indispensable.
02
Stacked
Antique pieces stack beautifully together precisely because they weren’t designed to match. A Georgian gold bangle alongside a Victorian hinged bangle and mid-century bracelet, the variety of patina and style is the point.
03
The Single Statement
Picture a wide Victorian bangle or an Art Deco diamond bracelet: a significant piece needs nothing alongside it. Worn alone on a bare wrist, it says everything without trying.
