Goldette Slide Charm Bracelet
I really love vintage Goldette jewelry. I can generally spot Goldette a mile away- whether it is signed or not. This piece is not signed, but it has the definitive Goldette charms that were so popular then as well as now. For the record I have a favorite charm- that’s the snake with the egg in it’s nest. Unfortunately- this slide bracelet doesn’t feature that charm… I’ll have to point it out the next time I see it.

Michelle…i was looking on the web for information on this bracelet and found you…i have it! It is slightly different as there are fixed faux matching pearl charms at each end, and only 5 other slides, one of which is the snake with the egg in the nest. While there are some charms you show, there are a couple of others that are not on the pictured bracelet. I wish it were more complete, but it does not look as though charms could be added, even if i could find them.
How would i best go about cleaning this bracelet?
thanks for your help.
Hi Cathy – I have seen this bracelet in several different configurations and with different charms. I don’t believe charms can be added on any slide bracelets. As far as cleaning goes with all costume jewelry you have to be careful. Never submerse the piece in water or anything like that. I know some people who collect like to use a little Windex on a soft rag. When I clean costume jewelry- I use several q tips dipped in isopropyl alcohol. The reason I like to clean with alcohol is because it dries almost immediately and with the q-tips I can get into all the nooks and crannies for thorough cleaning. Moisture is a big enemy to costume jewelry- so whatever you use make sure it is really dry when you are done cleaning.
thanks, Michelle, i will try that. mine is “signed” if by that you mean that it has Goldette (R) on it…i can’t believe you had it on your site.
Hello, After wearing the Goldette NY slide bracelet I inherited from my mom I decided to do a little googling about it. My slide has the snake and the pearl egg, it also has a dragon, a cameo, a star, a turquoise looking stone and a couple other things. I remember my dad bought it for my mom one Christmas. We didn’t have a lot of money but he always bought her a piece of jewelry from a nice dress shop called the Carriage Trade. Just wanted to share : )
Hi Linda- that is a lovely story- I am glad you shared it with us. -Michelle
WOW! My mom gave me a bunch of bracelets recently and I decided to see if I could find anything out about the one I am wearing today. It is the same one that is in these pictures. I have about 5 more. Is there a site for collectors that you know of?
Thanks!
Hmm I am not sure if there is a Goldette collectors website, but there are several jewelry collector websites online.
I have a silver version of this bracelet and am wondering if other people know how rare this might be.
