The bracelets and bangles we buy
We buy hinged and solid bangles, plain and engraved; diamond tennis and line bracelets; charm bracelets with their charms; gate bracelets with a padlock clasp; curb and fancy link bracelets; and gem-set panel bracelets. Antique pieces include Victorian buckle and serpent bangles, Etruscan revival bangles with applied beadwork, Edwardian platinum and diamond bracelets, and Art Deco strap bracelets. Textured gold bracelets from the 1960s and 1970s are bought as well. Each is assessed as a bracelet to be worn again, on its form, its maker and its date.
How a bracelet is assessed
Bracelets take more knocks than most jewels, so the mechanics come first: the hinge, the tongue of the clasp, the safety chain and any figure-of-eight catch. On a line bracelet we check each link for stretch and each stone for chips. On a bangle we look for dents, which are common in hollow Victorian examples, and for thinning where it has rubbed against a watch. Hallmarks sit on the clasp tongue, inside the bangle, or on the padlock of a gate bracelet.
Charm bracelets and what to tell us
A charm bracelet is assessed charm by charm. Charms are often hallmarked separately, and opening charms, enamelled charms, early travel souvenirs and charms by named makers are picked out individually. Lay the bracelet flat so that every charm shows. For any bracelet, give us the inside length, or the inner diameter of a bangle, tell us whether the safety chain is present, and mention any link that has been removed or added. Offers are confirmed after inspection.

Questions about selling bracelets
My bangle is dented. Does that stop you buying it?
No. Hollow gold bangles dent easily and many Victorian and Edwardian examples carry a dent or two. Shallow dents can be raised by a restorer; sharp creases are harder to remove. Photograph the dent in raking light so its depth shows. The valuation reflects the condition, and the offer is confirmed at inspection.
Are the charms on my bracelet valued separately?
Yes. Each charm is looked at on its own for its hallmark, subject, maker and condition, and the chain is assessed with its padlock. Articulated charms, charms that open to show a scene, and early enamelled examples are noted individually. You can sell the whole bracelet or remove any charm you wish to keep before sending.
What is the difference between a tennis bracelet and a line bracelet?
They are the same form: a flexible single row of matched stones, each in its own setting. Line bracelet is the older trade term and tennis bracelet the modern one. We assess the number and cut of the stones, how well they match, the metal, and the security of the clasp and its safety catch.
The safety chain or padlock is missing. Is that a problem?
It is a small point and easily remedied. A missing safety chain can be replaced by a jeweller, and a gate bracelet can be fitted with a replacement padlock, though an original hallmarked padlock that matches the bracelet is preferred. Tell us what is missing and send any detached parts in the parcel.
How should I pack a bracelet for posting?
Wrap the bracelet in tissue so that links and charms cannot rub, place it in a small rigid box, and put that inside the outer packaging. Parcels are insured to £10,000, by free FedEx collection from your door or by Royal Mail Special Delivery with the postage refunded. Declined items are returned free and insured.
