Help deciding on an old cut line bracelet….

[bee24]

I think with old cuts sometimes they have a brown/champagne tint which is quite distracting I find. I guess the larger stones make it more obvious. I have a bracelet and I love the stones but wish it was a full bracelet. I think finding ones with all white and bright diamonds will be more $$ but it's out there.

Hahaha and I love a gold bangle too but gold prices are so high right now, it's so depressing.

I know, gold is so crazy. I keep hoping I’ll find a bangle on TRR or Etsy/insta or even goodwill auctions lol but you are in Australia, right? That shipping would give me so much anxiety. I do like the variation in color in the bracelet, there is one warmer stone that I actually love and makes me want a lowww color oec/omc.

So I uploaded another video and I don’t notice the window, but maybe I’m not moving my wrist properly? It’s not something that I’ve been very sensitive to I don’t think.

I don’t know if you saw my thread about when I purchased a line bracelet, but then I returned it because the seller was dishonest about the CTW? Take a look because that bracelet was also very beautiful and the stones were transitional and old euros so they were I would say a bit better cut from a technical standpoint. The bracelet I bought are old mines. The older it is the more wonk you’re likely to have and when you have a bracelet that has a ton of stones it’s going to probably have some that aren’t necessarily ideal range.

This is so helpful, thank you! Your bracelet is so fabulous. It seems bigger to me, the larger bracelet links are all just under 5mm yet your seems to have a bigger (better) presence.

Most old cuts show tilt windows like that. Mine in my ring do.

Okay, this is what I was thinking but wanted to know if the stones were poorly cut (they all seem lovely besides the two) or if it was expected in old cuts. I see it in my side stones in my ring too though it does seem better when I wear it one way vs the other. I’ve been hyper analyzing this one!

Yeah I am in Australia so it makes things a bit tricky. And I also have a bigger than average wrist darn it! So 7 inches will be snug. 7.25 will be perfect but hardly any come in that size with everything else that I want.

I have a bracelet that I have my eye on and they said it's around 5mm. So that's good to know @Mreader yours looks way bigger than 6mm.

I measured my current bracelet and the largest link is 6.9mm and the second one is 4.9mm so it gave me an idea of what to expect. Although my wrist is bigger so everything seems smaller lol.

Sorry about the delayed reply! I live in the US and had to step away mentally for a bit due to the current…chaos.

I was lucky enough to have a work trip to Australia years ago and visited Sydney and Melbourne. Incredible!

I feel like all the antique bracelets are 6.5 inches! The small one is currently w DK- hoping for a seamless extension! The other one was 7.25 though, so you can find one!


For anyone else following, I did return the larger bracelet. I still want a larger one in the future but I’m content waiting and saving!

Just a comical side story, that bracelet was listed as 8.25 inches but when I received it, it was 7.25. Not a huge deal, I let the seller know but when I returned it, he sent the following picture saying it was in fact 8.25… I won’t give any hints but I’m sure the savvy PSers can find the problem lol!

It doesn't quite reach the .25 for one thing, but also is the vendor including part of the clasp?

Good luck in your search!

I don't think that's how rulers work.

A hint, my picture of the length. To be honest, I did analyze his picture for a few minute before it clicked. Just a funny eBay story!

Omg it took me a second, ok, more like a couple minutes, I’m slow lol… I was like,

“wait, it’s 8.25… maybe I forgot how to read a tape measure …. Wha…. OHHHHH “

That’s actually pretty funny lol

 

[Lookinagain]

I get it. Yes, he's wrong.

 

[Dreamer_D]

Yes it also took me a minute!

Hey guys, I just used his tape measure and I’m 6’7” now!
