Purple Rhodolite Garnet Siam Sterling Silver Cannetille Vintage Bangle Bracelet
An extraordinary study in old-world filigree, this vintage Siam (Thai) bangle is a tour de force of cannetille work executed in sterling silver with a warm gilt-vermeil finish. The wide, slightly domed band is densely ornamented across its entire surface with hand-coiled wire scrolls, twisted rope borders, granulated beadwork, and dozens of tiny stamped rosettes that swirl in symmetrical patterns around the centerpiece. Set into bezels at the front are faceted purple-toned rhodolite garnets, their rich raspberry-violet color glowing against the golden metalwork; the central round stone is flanked by oval-cut companions, each cradled in a starburst of coiled silver. Large polished silver demi-domes punctuate the design at intervals, adding sculptural weight and contrast to the airy filigree. The technique here is remarkable: cannetille, a labor-intensive Georgian-revival method, requires building up scrollwork from fine drawn wire, and the maker has achieved an intricate, almost lace-like density across the whole bangle. Craftsmanship is consistent and confident, with the granulation evenly applied and the gemstone bezels secure. Condition is very good vintage, showing an attractive worn gilt surface where the vermeil has mellowed to reveal silver beneath on the high points, a warm aged patina settled into the recesses, and all garnets present and bright; the slight irregularity of the cuff is typical of handmade construction. The weight and presence of this piece make it a genuine statement bangle rather than a delicate accent. Collectors of Thai silver, antique-style filigree, or colored-gemstone jewelry will recognize the considerable hand-labor invested here. For the buyer seeking dramatic, richly textured vintage adornment with vivid purple garnets and intricate goldwashed detailing, this cannetille bangle is a striking and substantial find.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
