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 size is this bracelet and will it fit me? A: This slip-on bangle has an inner circumference of approximately 19.1 cm (about 7.5 in), which is roughly a 60.8 mm inner diameter. For closed bangles, measure around the widest part of your hand (over the knuckles) and choose a bangle with a slightly larger inner circumference so it slides on comfortably. If you have a similar bangle, compare its inner diameter to be sure.
Q: Is it made from sterling silver? What does 925 mean? A: Yes. 925 sterling silver means the metal is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with other metals (most commonly copper) for strength and durability. It is a hallmark of quality used widely in fine jewellery.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how can I minimise it? A: Silver naturally oxidises over time, especially with exposure to air, moisture, cosmetics and sulphur compounds. Wipe the bracelet with a soft silver-polishing cloth after wear, store it in an anti-tarnish pouch or a lined compartment, and keep it dry. Occasional cleaning with mild soap and lukewarm water is fine—rinse and dry thoroughly.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: It’s best to remove sterling silver before showering, swimming or using hot tubs. Water, soaps and especially chlorinated or salt water can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish. If it gets wet, rinse in clean lukewarm water and dry fully.
Q: Is it adjustable or can it be resized? A: No. As a rigid, slip-on design, it is not adjustable. Resizing closed bangles is generally not possible without risking damage or distortion; a specialist jeweller may sometimes make minor adjustments, but it is not typically recommended.
Q: Is sterling silver hypoallergenic? A: Genuine 925 sterling silver is usually suitable for most sensitive skin because it is primarily silver alloyed with copper, and UK/EU rules limit nickel release in jewellery. However, individual sensitivities vary; if you have a known severe nickel allergy, monitor for any reaction and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: What does the Intrecciato design refer to? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature woven motif, developed in the 1970s for the House’s leather goods and reinterpreted here in solid silver as a woven texture, showcasing Italian craftsmanship.
Q: How should I store and care for it day to day? A: Put jewellery on after lotions, perfume and hairspray; avoid contact with household chemicals; and store the bracelet separately in a soft pouch or lined box to minimise scratches. Regularly use a non‑abrasive silver cloth to maintain shine.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If a branded box, pouch or paperwork is not listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you’d like us to confirm.
Q: Is it authentic? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully verified by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, hallmarks and craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
