Our expert team utilizes professional testing methods to distinguish authentic examples from contemporary reproductions lacking historical fabrication techniques.
Vintage and estate bracelets showcase 14k to 18k gold content, platinum mesh work, natural gemstones, and era appropriate craftsmanship in our NYC collection. Victorian pieces feature hand twisted wire elements while Art Deco designs emphasize streamlined mounting systems typical of the 1920s aesthetic. Vintage costume jewelry provides attractive alternatives with quality metal alloys and decorative stone settings from established costume jewelry manufacturers.
Historical bracelet dimensions and closure systems vary from contemporary standards due to evolving style preferences and wrist fashions. For example, Victorian charm bracelets typically measure 7 to 8 inches with substantial link weight, while 1960s modern cuffs feature adjustable openings accommodating multiple wrist sizes. We're happy to adjust vintage and estate pieces when feasible to ensure comfortable fit for our customers' needs and preferences.
Collectible vintage and estate pieces from renowned manufacturers like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Bulgari show consistent value growth in auction markets. Precious metal content and genuine gemstone components provide substantial worth that appreciates as natural materials become increasingly limited. Knowledgeable collectors favor unrestored condition over modern refinishing because original surfaces maintain historical integrity and provenance. Exceptional examples from distinguished eras like Georgian and Art Deco maintain strong demand due to their artistic significance and limited availability. Our NYC location connects Manhattan's discerning clientele with museum caliber vintage jewelry investments.
Safeguard vintage and estate pieces by housing them in individual fabric lined boxes to prevent chain tangling and surface abrasion. Keep bracelets away from perfumes, body oils, and household cleaners that can corrode metals and damage stone settings. Avoid ultrasonic cleaning on pieces with antique clasps or organic components like pearls. Arrange annual professional evaluations to detect clasp wear or loose connections before significant restoration becomes required.
