The bracelets on offer in the Antique Style webstore are a treat for the eye!
The chain bracelets are composed of flexible chains that can display old motifs, like the Meander or the Acanthus. There are also specimens with the finest floral shapes and garlands. The rose, the forget-me-not and the sunflower were popular. These romantic bracelets were mainly in fashion at the end of the 19th century.
The bracelets on offer online are usually made from gold or silver, gold plate, copper (nickel free), even of ribbons. The embellishments are fashioned from several kinds of metal, enamel, beads, medallions in the shape of miniature portraits or small works of art, like cameos (popular since 1810), and last but not least: pearls.
The pearl bracelets are, just like pearl necklaces, popular with brides and guests at a wedding.
The almost prismatic, luminous glow (which seems to come from within) makes the bride and her guests look even more radiant. The hand-strung pearls are artistically grouped together and ingeniously attached to a silver base, using silver ringlets, sometimes in combination with precious stones.
The bangle, fashionable since the 19th century, is a bracelet in one piece and inspired by the slave bangle. Several of these bracelets can be worn at the same time and give a nice jingling effect.
The solid bracelet without fastener slides on the wrist sideways. These specimens can be adjusted and bent into shape according to the size of the wrist, but can also be worn higher up the arm.
The bracelets on choice online, are often secured by a clasp or fastened with an eyelet in combination with a guard chain.
