Our selection of second-hand vintage mesh jewelry

Vintage mesh jewelry embodies a jewelry craftsmanship that is rare today. Each chain, each necklace, each vintage bracelet bears witness to an era when goldsmiths worked link by link, by hand, to create pieces destined to last for generations.

At Castafiore, our selection is constantly renewed. Filtering by mesh type, metal, or price allows you to quickly find the vintage jewelry that suits you.

Vintage mesh necklaces: rolo chain, palm, and twisted chain

Our collection of vintage mesh necklaces covers the major families of jewelry meshes. Rolo chain necklace (flattened and faceted oval links for maximum brilliance), palm chain necklace (articulated flat links evoking palm leaves), twisted chain necklace, alternating chain necklace, or jaseron chain necklace (fine chain with very tight round links): each stylistic origin has its own codes.

Some chain necklaces are adorned with set diamonds, for a vintage piece of jewelry that combines jewelry tradition and contemporary sparkle. Our vintage necklaces are available in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold, in several lengths and purities (carats). Prices vary depending on the origin of the piece, its weight in precious gold, and its general condition.

Vintage mesh bracelets and curb chains: coffee bean and curb chain

The vintage mesh bracelet is one of the most sought-after pieces in our catalog. Classic curb chain bracelet, coffee bean chain bracelet (domed and elongated links resembling the shape of a bean), curb chain to wear on the wrist or as a necklace: each creation has a strong personality.

The vintage curb chain, often engraved or adorned with a central motif, is a piece rich in history and sentimental value. Our vintage bracelets are available in yellow, white, and rose gold, certified in carats, and delivered with their certificate of authenticity booklet. The price of each piece is set after rigorous and transparent evaluation.

Vintage rings and earrings: diamonds and filigree mesh

Our collection of vintage jewelry is not limited to necklaces and bracelets. Vintage diamond-set ring, vintage filigree mesh ring (metal lace technique obtained by weaving very fine gold threads), vintage mesh earrings: each creation testifies to exceptional craftsmanship.

Vintage diamond rings are particularly prized for their unique character and heritage value. Filtering by type of jewelry or stone allows you to explore our entire vintage selection in a few clicks, and compare prices according to origin and carats.

How to evaluate and choose a vintage mesh jewel?

Some essential criteria guide the choice of quality vintage jewelry. The carat purity (750 thousandths gold for 18-carat gold, 585 thousandths gold for 14-carat gold) guarantees the precious metal content. The master's hallmark (mark engraved by the artisan or the original house) attests to the provenance and authenticity of the piece.

The general condition of the mesh is also decisive: a rolo chain or a curb chain in good condition has no open links, no excessive wear, and no visible solder. At Castafiore, each vintage jewel is checked on all these points before being offered for sale, and its price accurately reflects its actual condition.

Frequently asked questions about vintage mesh jewelry

How to care for vintage mesh jewelry?

Vintage mesh jewelry requires gentle and regular maintenance. Immerse your chain necklace or curb chain bracelet for a few minutes in lukewarm soapy water, then gently rub with a very soft toothbrush to reach the inside of the links.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for vintage jewelry adorned with set stones or fragile filigree mesh: vibrations can loosen old settings. A visit to a professional every two years remains the best guarantee of preservation, regardless of the original price of the piece.

What is the value of a vintage mesh jewel?

The value of vintage jewelry depends on several factors: the weight in precious gold (expressed in carats and grams), the rarity of the mesh, the origin and the creative house, as well as the general condition of the piece. An 18-carat white gold palm chain necklace signed by a major Parisian house will have a much higher value than an unsigned piece of the same weight.

At Castafiore, each price is set after rigorous evaluation by our experts, in full transparency. Our customers have all the necessary information to buy with peace of mind: certified origin, verified carats, secure delivery.

Our collection of vintage mesh jewelry is constantly renewed. Because a well-chosen vintage piece of jewelry is a unique creation that transcends time and enriches each generation that wears it.
