Wearing a bracelet is as much about comfort as it is about style. We use our hands all the time and having an eye catching bracelet set can draw attention to your wrists and let your style come through. Finding a good bracelet ties in with finding a good necklace chain and often works best when the two styles are paired together like we offer in our bundles.
When you’re looking for a new bracelet there are a lot of options to choose from and over time you may add different styles to your collection. When you’re just starting out there are definitely some things to consider to help make the decision easier.
First would be the link style. This will depend on your personal style, if you have a classic style and you’re looking for something versatile that you can wear to work and events you may want to go for something traditional and elegant like a 6mm Cuban Bracelet or Paperclip Chain bracelet. If you have a modern style and like to experiment then choose something more aggressive as a statement piece.
Second would be the number of bracelets you like to wear, if you like the stacked look then going for smaller links will allow you to stack multiple bracelets together for a full look.
Now you know the style of bracelet you’re after, what else should you be looking for? In addition to the fit there are also some other important factors that can help you on your journey to choosing your chain.
Material
Jewellery can be made from many different metals, the most common is 316L Stainless steel, 925 sterling silver, 18k gold plated stainless steel and solid gold. The colour choice of silver vs gold will depend on your personal preference and then choosing between the metals will also depend on your budget. 316L stainless steel offers the most benefits in the silver colour due to stainless steel being non tarnish and waterproof where silver will oxidise over time and exposure to water. Gold plating give you the look of gold at a fraction of the cost and solid gold is an investment that will hold it’s value.
Quality & Durability
A good bracelet should feel comfortable on your wrist and be enjoyable to wear. Even our most aggressive chain links like the Barbed Wire Cuban Bracelet has been carefully developed to still feel comfortable on your skin. Durability means the chain should be able to stand the test of time and wear. A long life metal like Stainless Steel scores well for durability.
Price
Consider the price and your budget. We use 316L stainless steel because it will last a lifetime of daily wear and is among the best value for money when it comes to the affordable price point for bracelets.
Warranty
Getting a warranty on your purchase will give you extra peace of mind with your new cuban chain. We give a lifetime warranty on all purchases.
