FLEXIBLE BRACELETS (CHAINS, BEADS)

Apply the usual length increases according to the desired wearing style

(close to the wrist, with a little play, or looser). On our antique pieces, the

original length often corresponds to the measurements of the time: do not hesitate to

ask us if a piece can be lengthened or shortened without altering its

authenticity.

RIGID BRACELETS (BANGLES)

Antique bangles are not adjustable: it is therefore essential to check that the piece

can pass over your hand before purchase.

To measure:

1. 2. Measure the width of your hand at the widest point, using a strip of

paper or a flexible tape measure.

Add 1 to 2 cm for comfort. 3. Compare this measurement to the inside diameter indicated in the item's description.

On antique jewelry, diameters are sometimes smaller than today: do not hesitate to

contact us to check feasibility before ordering, or to consider a slight adjustment by a

jeweler when possible without compromising the piece.

ADDITIONAL ADVICE

Bracelet width

A wide bracelet generally requires a slightly larger size for optimal comfort.

Personal preferences

Some people prefer a tight fit, others a looser fit. Trust your habits.

Giving a bracelet as a gift

If you do not know the recipient's wrist size, choose a flexible and adjustable piece,

or contact us: we can guide you towards a model offering more flexibility,

or advise you on return options in case of unsuitability.

A question about a particular piece?

Each antique piece of jewelry has its own history and sizing specifics. Do not hesitate to
