Ancient civilizations knew what they were doing when it came to adorning your body. 5000 years ago, the Egyptians wore bracelets that were made from natural materials. Today, your choices are broader and more versatile, but the intent remains the same. It completes your fashion look.
Bracelet with charms
If you want a bracelet that you can add to, consider a charm bracelet. You can start with as little as one charm on a link bracelet and then add to it as you are able or as special events occur in your life. When you travel, you can add charms that are made of gold or sterling silver. If you visit the Eiffel Tower in France, a crown in England, and the Big Apple in New York City, you can add charms to represent your children, pets, or hobbies. There are dozens of charms available.
A charm bracelet with a set color palette or theme is also an option. These charm bracelets, such as Sweet Romance's Squirrel's Harvest charm bracelet, have a set color palette or theme. Featuring colored Czech glass leaves and a squirrel, as well as copper and bronze leaf charms and an acorn, this gold-tone, double link bracelet is a wonderful autumnal piece. Added to the toggle closure is a green enamel leaf. A bit daintier, but quite clever, this Squirrel's Harvest piece is reminiscent of the 1940s, when elaborate costume jewelry was all the rage.
In addition, Sweet Romance offers a gold-tone Mother-of-Pearl French Dream Verse bracelet. A cluster of charms hang from a rolo chain bracelet made of golden burnished bronze, including a crystal leaf, heart, and bead. Inscribed on the large ring are the words where do raves go when we forget them? It translates to "Where are dreams when we forget?" This is a really romantic piece of jewelry. With an oversized Byzantine clasp, the bracelet measures 8 inches long.
Bangles
Most solid form bracelets are made of metal, wood, or plastic and can be smooth, hammered, or even set with gems. They generally have a narrow width, so you usually wear more than one at once.
A very popular style of bangle bracelets is Cloisonne bangles, which often come in sets of several bracelets. Cloisonne bracelets are decorated with crushed glass enamels in a variety of colors. A polished metal wire separates the colors of the enameled jewel bracelet in a vibrantly colored bangle bracelet. This bracelet measures 714" in diameter. It is possible to wear a mix or just a few for a more subtle look.
Beaded bracelet
They can be simple bracelets with loose beads strung on a piece of string or elastic, or they can be much more elaborate, with multiple rows of beads woven together with gems or gold beads.
A simple beaded bracelet to start with is the Cruz Stretch Bracelet, which features black Tourmalinated quartz and multi-gems with 18K Vermeil beads. The bracelet measures 6112 inches because it stretches. It has six rough cut black tourmalinated quartz stones, one dyed lemon chrysoprase stone, one round cut green fluorite stone and two pear-shaped black agate stones. This bracelet is a simple, but stunning addition to your wrist.
This bracelet has triple strands of black obsidian, making it a bit more intricate. These beads are made of obsidian, a material created when lava cools rapidly, and are intermixed with sterling silver beads. This bracelet measures 8 inches and is attached with a magnetic clasp.
Which size do you wear?
There are a variety of wrist measurements. The standard bracelet size for a woman is 7 inches; the standard bracelet size for a man is 8 inches. Measure your wrist bone with a soft tape measure on your dominant hand. Add 3/4 to 1 inch to figure out your true size. You can also measure a bracelet you already own. Measure across the widest part of your hand if you are measuring for a closed bracelet, such as a bangle.
Bracelets: how to wear them
There is nothing wrong with wearing just one bracelet, but mixing it up can be a lot more fun. If you want to do this, follow these rules:
Wear thick and thin bracelets together
Make sure the styles and colors are complementary.
Don't be afraid to mix old and new styles together.
With bracelets, you are actually encouraged to wear more than one necklace at a time. Necklaces are typically worn one at a time, but bracelets are not. Get more info about shop fashion jewelry.
