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 is this cuff made of and where was it crafted? A: It is solid 925 sterling silver with Bottega Veneta’s signature Intrecciato motif, crafted in Italy. As a vintage piece, a natural patina and minor surface marks are normal and add character.
Q: What wrist size does it fit and how do I check my size? A: This cuff fits a wrist circumference of up to 17.5 cm. To check, wrap a soft measuring tape (or string and ruler) around your wrist where a bracelet sits, snug but not tight. If you are close to 17.5 cm and prefer a looser feel, consider a slimmer stack or wear higher on the wrist.
Q: Can the cuff be adjusted or resized? A: Only very small adjustments should be made, ideally once and by a professional jeweller. Repeated bending stresses sterling silver and can lead to distortion or cracking. If you need a closer fit, seek expert help rather than pulling the ends apart by hand.
Q: How should I put it on and take it off without stretching it? A: Slide the opening over the narrow side of your wrist just below the thumb, rotate into place, and reverse to remove. Avoid pulling the ends wide each time—shape it once for your wrist and then don’t flex it when wearing.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how do I care for it? A: Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time from contact with air and sulphur. Wipe after wear with a soft cloth, clean occasionally with mild soap and water, dry thoroughly, and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid harsh chemical dips, especially on textured or darkened areas, and keep away from prolonged heat or direct light.
Q: Does this piece have hallmarks and what does 925 mean? A: Most sterling pieces are stamped 925, indicating 92.5% pure silver. You may also find a Bottega Veneta brand stamp and country of origin. Exact markings can vary by production year and market.
Q: Is the design unisex? A: Yes. The clean, minimal cuff design suits any gender. Choose based on wrist circumference and preferred fit rather than gendered sizing.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: A box is included, as listed under Accessories. If an item such as a dust bag or care booklet isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: Can Bottega Veneta boutiques service or polish vintage jewellery? A: Boutiques can often provide care guidance, but services vary by location and item. For polishing or any adjustment, we recommend a trusted professional jeweller to preserve the cuff’s shape and finish.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bracelet? A: Every piece is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, workmanship, hallmarks and brand signatures. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
