Mid-Century Italian 18k Solid Gold Bracelet by Fabbrica Oreficeria Biffi 54 grams total - 42 grams of 24k gold + 12 grams of .999 silver - Scrap value alone ($32.50 in silver) + ($6846 of gold) as of 2pm EST 2/9/2026 - Tested and Verified by XRF Scan This one-of-a-kind antique 18k solid gold bracelet is an extraordinary example of Italian goldsmithing at its finest. Handmade in Vicenza, Italy circa 1930's during the WWII era, it bears the prestigious “3 VI” hallmark of Fabbrica Oreficeria Biffi, one of Vicenza’s most respected historic jewelry houses. Crafted entirely from solid 18k gold (750 hallmark), this bracelet showcases an intricate Venetian-inspired link design unlike anything produced today. Its bold, architectural pattern reflects the timeless Art Deco and mid-century Italian aesthetic, while its superb construction has preserved it in mint, wearable condition for more than 80 years. Specifications: Maker: Fabbrica Oreficeria Biffi (F.O.B.), hallmark “3 VI” (Vicenza, Italy) Era: Circa 1930 (WWII / Art Deco period) Material: Solid 18k yellow gold (750/1000) Weight: 54 grams Style: Wide cuff / bangle, articulated links, museum-quality hand craftsmanship Provenance & ValueThree independent master jewelers have appraised that recreating this bracelet with today’s labor and gold costs would require 6–8 months of work and retail between $20,000–$25,000, depending on the atelier. Its rarity, provenance, and craftsmanship place it firmly in the realm of collectible investment jewelry—the kind typically seen in Christie’s or Sotheby’s estate collections. Why This Piece Stands Out Ultra-Rare Hallmark: Stamped “3 VI 750”, identifying it as authentic Biffi from Vicenza, Italy. Historic Craftsmanship: Handmade in the 1940s, each ornate link is individually crafted. Museum Quality: In nearly brand-new condition despite being almost 85 years old. One-of-a-Kind: Guaranteed no duplicate exists; this is not a design mass-produced. Collector AppealThis bracelet is ideal for serious collectors, connoisseurs of vintage Italian jewelry, and investors in rare estate pieces. This 18k solid gold bracelet embodies both luxury and history, with an enduring design that remains fashionable today. Owning it is owning a piece of Italian goldsmithing heritage while you invest in gold.
