Frequently Asked Questions
Chain bracelets come in the same styles as necklaces—curb, figaro, rope. Bangles are rigid circles you slip on. Cuffs are open-ended and adjustable. Tennis bracelets have a line of stones. Link bracelets have larger connected pieces.
Measure your wrist with a flexible tape, then add 1/2 to 1 inch for comfort. Bangles need to fit over your hand—measure your hand at the widest point, then find a bangle slightly larger. Cuffs are more forgiving since they adjust.
Absolutely. Heavier chain bracelets and solid bangles handle daily wear well. Remove before activities that could snag or crush them. Expect scratches over time—they become part of the piece's character. Polish occasionally to maintain shine.
Mix textures—combine smooth bangles with chain bracelets or cuffs with beaded styles. Odd numbers look best (3, 5, 7 pieces). Keep metals consistent unless you're intentionally mixing. Don't overstack heavy pieces—it gets uncomfortable.
Lobster claws are reliable and easy to use. Toggle clasps are stylish but can slip open if loose. Box clasps with safety catches are very secure. Magnetic clasps are convenient but not recommended for valuable pieces—they can open unexpectedly.
