~PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AT END OF DESCRIPTION.Background:
This is the largest, bulkiest, most substantial (and very unique) example of what is already a VERY rare model line - the Chrome Hearts Double Sided Solid Sterling ID Band Bracelet with Bezeled Twisted Cuban Cross Links.
I HIGHLY encourage you to look for this model Chrome Hearts bracelet throughout the web - you will NOT find it. The bezeled cross style links on this bracelet alone are very seldom seen- and I've not found another such example of the Double Sided 1992 Chrome Hearts ID Bracelet in all of the online resale world...
I have been a serious Chrome Hearts collector for many, many years. In fact, I got into the brand so early on - that the Chrome Hearts founders approached me
Before proceeding with the description of the piece, I wanted to take a moment to ease your worries regarding the purchase of a high end Chrome Hearts piece here within the eBay community. I am a longtime eBay seller, and throughout the many years have maintained a 100% positive feedback rating. I sell only what is of my personal collection. All of my Chrome Hearts pieces were purchased from the early 90s to the mid 2000s from Chrome Hearts stores in New York City, and Malibu, California. This particular piece was purchased from Chrome Hearts in 1992. It was a gift from my wife, however - in my older age I find the piece to be too heavy. Thus, here it is. This is not a "buy and flip" item - this is a piece that I've truly adored for many years. It is with a heavy heart that I let it go. Nonetheless, my hope is that it goes of to someone who will give it the time in the light it so deserves. This bracelet was VERY MINIMALLY WORN, hence the truly excellent condition.
The Piece Itself:
Chrome Hearts Double Sided Solid Sterling ID Band Bracelet with Bezeled Twisted Cuban Cross Links
The DUAL Chunky Silver ID Stations:
As noted earlier, this bracelet is different from all other Chrome Hearts silver ID ensembles in that it features TWO ID stations instead of just the one. Again, this is a 1992 Chrome Hearts production, which makes it part of a very early, very limited release. Because of its dual ID station build, this is a very HEAVY bracelet. In the case of this listing, the bracelet feels as it looks - hefty. I would offer the advice that if you are someone who tends to like lighter, less substantial jewelry items, you might want to avoid this one. I decided to list this bracelet because in my older age, it is simply too heavy for my wrist. This is a young man’s piece.. no doubt.
ID Station One: “The Dagger.”
The first “ID Station” on this bracelet is that of the world famous Chrome Hearts Dagger. This dagger is HUGE!!! Done in a raised silver style, the dagger juts forth from the solid thick silver ID station. It is high detail, exquisitely carved, and far more ornate in style than your traditional silver dagger. The raised silver dagger is designed to catch the light - to reflect the light with its high polish, smooth 3-Dimensional surface area. Across the Dagger’s handle is the “Chrome” within a solid silver scroll, and along the blade - “hearts.” The surface of the ID station (on which the silver dagger runs across the front) is incredibly smooth and brilliantly polished - again, when exposed to natural light, the bracelet is absolutely radiant.
ID Station Two: “The Floral Cross.”
The second ID station on this Chrome Hearts 1992 Vintage Bracelet is exactly like the first in size and scale. Thick, chunky high polish 925 heavy sterling silver. Whereas the first ID Station bears a Chrome Hearts Dagger - this station bears a Chrome Hearts Bezeled Floral Gothic Cross. Again, this addition is 3-Dimensional and raised silver in nature. The cross is beautifully detailed and meticulously composed. The cross is surrounded by traditional Chrome Hearts Sterling Floral design in a diamond or “American football” like shape.
The Backs of the ID Stations:
At the back of the ID portions of the bracelet, there are wonderfully detailed and quite beautiful raised silver plaques that serves as authenticity indicators. These plaques are in the shape of the widely recognized Chrome Hearts "Scroll." Within the scrolls, the brand name "Chrome Hearts," in that immediately identifiable Chrome Hearts gothic font. Below the brand name, the year "1992," and "sterling."
The Links:
Yet another example of the finite rarity of this Chrome Hearts Dual ID bracelet’s design -- the THICK, bulky, bold solid sterling twisted bezeled cross links. The style of the links is one that is very seldom seen on ID Station Chrome Hearts bracelets. In fact, this is the only such piece (dual sided) that I have seen in my many years that follows a cross link design scheme. Each link bears hand carved and soldered mini crosses (front and back). The crosses are (again) finitely composed and highly detailed - very defined. The links are chunky silver - and the cross covered links serve to reflect light off their many angles. While the Dual 3-Dimensional raised silver ID stations are something to behold, the links of this bracelet are not an afterthought - but rather a frontrunner for this piece’s most admirable design element. Many of the Chrome Hearts ID bracelets are composed of fairly straightforward links - yet, here - on this vintage 92 piece - they are about as elaborate as it gets.
Locking Mechanism:
The locking components on this bracelet are seamlessly hidden. With a long broad stem inserting into one of the ID segments of the bracelet and clicking into place. The closure is incredibly clean, very well conceived, and VERY solid. There is just no possible way this piece would come off unintended. To open up the bracelet, you simply push down on the silver bar of the ID band segment. Functions flawlessly.
Condition:
As noted earlier, this bracelet is truly in excellent condition. There is no tarnish present whatsoever as you commonly see on vintage Chrome Hearts pieces. Why? Well, this piece was very minimally worn. If I had to guess, I would say I wore this bracelet less than a dozen times - and only out to dinner. For the majority of the time since its acquisition this bracelet has been sitting in a felt bag in the drawer of my jewelry box. Truly impeccable form.
Overall, this is simply an impossible to find piece.... given it has zero presence online, I'd venture to say you'd be pressing your luck to hope for another such example to pop up in the future. When I bought the piece, the Chrome Hearts sales rep told me that it was a very limitedly numbered bracelet - and (as such) I paid quite the fortune to secure this near "one off."
In my mind, it was worth every penny. With Chrome Hearts on fire in popular trend of recent years, this is a piece that will only continue to rise in value - especially given its exquisite condition. For any serious Chrome Hearts collector looking to add to their collection, well, this is indeed a "set maker."
