Bracelets is a 1931 British crime film directed by Sewell Collins and starring Bert Coote, Joyce Kennedy and Harold Huth. A jeweler is targeted by confidence tricksters pretending to be connected with the exiled Russian Royal Family. He manages to turn the tables on them, and, after collecting the reward for their arrest, uses the money to buy silver bracelets for his wife to celebrate their wedding anniversary.

The film was made as a second feature by the large British company Gaumont British Picture Corporation.[1] It was made at the Lime Grove Studios in Shepherd's Bush. The film's sets were designed by the French-born art director Andrew Mazzei. The director Sewell Collins wrote the screenplay, adapting his own stage play.
