5 Popular Vintage Bracelet Styles

October 7, 2022 by Colonial Acres Coins

Fashion is cyclical, which is why vintage jewellery is such an investment — old trends are bound to come back into style, and when they do, you’ll have a unique piece to show off. Lovers of historical jewelry may be especially intrigued by bracelets, which come in hundreds of styles with rich roots in ancient traditions. Which ones should you check out? Here are our top five bracelet styles for vintage fashionistas.

1. Gemstone Bracelets

The origin of gemstone bracelets is unknown, as the earliest pieces can be traced back millennia. Ancient cultures all over the world integrated gemstones into their jewelry, each according to its resources and beliefs. Today’s gemstone bracelets emerged from these complex histories and now offer their own symbolism.

For example, the New Age movement holds that different stones possess various powers, which individuals can tap into by wearing them. Of course, some wearers simply appreciate the natural beauty of the colourful gems and wear them for purely aesthetic reasons.

2. Bangle Bracelets

Unique in shape, bangle bracelets can be found all over the world in many different materials. However, they originated in the area that is now Pakistan thousands of years ago. Archeologists have discovered many examples of this jewelry, including statues carved with such adornment.

Today, bangles play a significant role in Asian and South Asian cultures. For example, red bangles are a staple at Hindu weddings for their symbolism. Some people even believe that bangle bracelets offer health benefits.

In Western societies, bangles are primarily worn for their aesthetics. One popular trend is to layer bangles, allowing them to jingle against each other when you walk.

3. Tennis Bracelets

The delicate square links that comprise tennis bracelets give them a sophisticated air, likely why they’re considered a classic today. Interestingly, tennis bracelets became popular long after they hit the market, and it’s all due to a celebrity: Chris Evert, a famed tennis player.

During the 1987 U.S. Open Championship, Chris Evert was wearing just such a bracelet. However, a faulty clasp caused her to lose the piece during the match. She called for a break when she realized her beloved diamond bracelet was missing, and tennis enthusiasts viewed the search during a live game broadcast.

Today, you can find tennis bracelets in a wide range of styles, including adjustable pieces. These bracelets feature a bolo clasp so wearers can customize them to fit their wrists. It’s an excellent way to prevent the jewelry from flying off — during, say, a high-stakes sports tournament.

4. Charm Bracelets

Charm bracelets have existed in one form or another for thousands of years. Ancient people used charms to ward off evil spirits and bad luck, and bracelets were just one form of these practices. Today’s charm bracelets emerged in the 1940s, during the height of World War II.

Today, this jewelry is beloved for its customization options. Individuals can showcase their interests and personalities with an assortment of charms and even switch trinkets according to their moods. When you look through vintage bracelets, you’ll see a wide range of styles as trends came and went throughout the decades.

5. Link Bracelets

Like others on this list, link bracelets can be traced back to ancient times. Their simplicity and durability ensure they remain popular to this day, and many cultures utilize them as signs of wealth or status.

Though simplicity is a key quality in link bracelets, there are nevertheless many styles to choose from:

  • Crinkle
  • Mesh
  • Marquis
  • Connector
  • Railroad
  • Bismark
