Bracelets are a fun and fashionable way to accessorize any outfit as well as showcase your wrists and hands. There are a number of bracelet types and styles and the choice solely depends on your personal style.
Charm Bracelets
Charm bracelets are not just for little girls any more. With Pandora entering the market, charm bracelets grew up and grew in popularity. Expertly crafted out of precious metals and precious and semi-precious gemstones, charm bracelets are a new way to tell your life’s story with a twist of your wrist.
Usually, charm bracelets start out with just a simple chain or a leather cord to which the wearer can add charms that have special, personal meaning. Commemorative anniversary and special events charms are extremely popular. For those that like the look of a charm bracelet, but don’t want to wait to “collect” the charms, some companies offer pre made charm bracelet versions. The pre made charm bracelets usually center on a specific theme.
Cuff Bracelet
Cuff bracelets are usually wide statement pieces. These bracelets can be elaborate and feature engraved or embossed designs, gemstones, or elaborate metal lace work. Alternatively, cuff bracelets can also be simple, clean, and modern statement pieces. A cuff bracelet usually has an opening that allows the wearer to slide the bracelet onto their wrist.
Tennis Bracelet
Usually composed of a row of precious or semi-precious gemstones on a flexible wrist band with a clasp, a tennis bracelet is one of the most popular bracelets in fine jewelry. Tennis bracelets can vary in price, style, or gemstone choice.
Bangle Bracelet
Usually worn a few at a time, bangle bracelets are rigid rings that slide over the hand onto the wrist. Often times, bangles are worn as a mix-and-match accessory and have been fairly popular throughout the years due to their versatility.
Watch Bracelet
Although not a bracelet in the traditional sense of the word, watch bracelets can be very effective pieces of jewelry. Some luxury Swiss watch brands like Rolex feature diamond and precious gemstone set bracelets for their watches making them a functional accessory.
Gemstone Bracelets
Gemstone bracelets can vary in style and price. Usually precious gemstones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds are featured on a tennis bracelet, while semi-precious stones are more common on beagles, cuffs, and charm bracelets. Pearls and coral are a popular choice for “beaded” bracelets that can be worn by themselves or layered with other “beaded” bracelets.
