Perfect for weekday polish and evening charm, this vintage Tiffany & Co. Somerset bracelet in sterling silver slips on effortlessly, lending refined sparkle to a crisp shirt, knit jumper or a little black dress. The woven mesh adds understated texture for cocktail parties, gallery openings or celebratory dinners.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What wrist sizes does this bracelet fit? A: This slip-on Somerset mesh bangle is noted to fit a wrist up to approximately 19 cm in circumference. For the best result, measure around the widest part of your hand (over the knuckles) as well as your wrist; if you are between sizes, choose the larger size and roll the bracelet on and off rather than forcing it.
Q: How does the Somerset bracelet fasten? A: It has a continuous woven mesh design with no clasp. The flexible sterling silver mesh allows it to be rolled over the hand and worn comfortably on the wrist.
Q: Can this bracelet be resized? A: Resizing options for continuous mesh bangles are very limited. Tiffany & Co. offers resizing or fit alterations only for select styles; for mesh bangles they typically recommend selecting the correct size rather than altering the piece. For definitive guidance on timing and cost, contact Tiffany Client Care or visit a boutique.
Q: Is it solid sterling silver or plated? A: It is crafted in sterling silver, which means 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength. Tiffany & Co. established the .925 sterling silver standard and stamps their pieces accordingly; you may see hallmarks such as Tiffany & Co. and 925 on the bracelet (exact placement can vary by production year).
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I clean it? A: Yes—tarnish is normal. Clean gently with a soft cloth and a silver polish formulated for jewellery, then rinse in warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid bleach, chlorine and harsh chemicals, which accelerate tarnishing. When not in use, keep the bracelet dry and stored in a soft, anti-tarnish pouch or box.
Q: Can I wear it every day or in the shower/pool? A: Daily wear is fine, but remove the bracelet before swimming, showering, exercising or applying lotions and perfumes. Chlorine, saltwater and some cosmetics can dull the finish and speed up tarnish.
Q: Will the mesh snag or stretch over time? A: The woven mesh is smooth and comfortable, but like all textured jewellery it can occasionally catch on delicate knits. To help maintain its shape, roll the bracelet over the hand rather than pulling or bending it, and avoid wearing it during activities that could snag the weave.
Q: How can I check authenticity? A: Authentic Tiffany pieces carry clear metal and brand hallmarks (for sterling silver, typically 925 and Tiffany & Co.). Hallmark appearance and placement can vary by country and production run. Tiffany & Co. does not offer an authentication service for merchandise; A Retro Tale guarantees the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: What is the condition and what is included with this piece? A: It is in very good pre-owned condition with light signs of use. Accessories are not included unless specifically listed; this item is sold without additional accessories.
