Bracelet Basics

This bracelet is a stiff metal ring that comes in a variety of widths. Some have gemstones or embellishments, but many are plain or textured. Bangles are often intended to stack as a set.

This bracelet features a chain that slides through a bolo clasp, allowing the bracelet to adjust in length. These are very popular because they can fit nearly any wrist and come in a wide variety of styles.

Chain bracelets can be worn on their own or as a base for other embellishments. There are many different chain styles, but some common ones include box, curb, figaro, rope, cable, and wheat chains.

Charm bracelets have a base, usually a chain with large links, that charms can be added to. These charms represent interests, life events, and are often added through the years.

Similar to a bangle, a cuff is a stiff bracelet with an opening that your wrist slides into. Cuffs tend to fit tighter than bangles and tend to be wide, but some are thinner.

This classic bracelet features a line of flexible links that are designed to be comfortable and move with you. Tennis bracelets are typically arrayed in sparkling diamonds, but some styles feature gemstones.
