RIGID BRACELETS
The style of the bracelet is circular and rigid. Usually made of gold or another type of metal, bracelets are usually simple designs or engraved. Bracelets with gemstones or diamond embellishments can give an elegant look. They look great worn alone or with different bracelets.
Bracelets can be hinged or sliding. A slide bracelet is larger and usually round and not as attached as hinged bracelets. Hinged bracelets tend to be more oval and fit the wrist better. Slider bracelets are usually looser in style and made from cheaper materials. Hinged bracelets often have a safety lock in addition to the main clasp.
BEAD BRACELETS
Bracelets with beads are stretchable and arranged in single or multiple rows. They can also have gemstones in multiple colors and look great when placed on either arm.
CHAIN BRACELETS
Chain bracelets are made by joining the links into a band. They are usually made of metal such as gold or silver. They are flexible and can range from very delicate chains to chunky styles. Chain bracelets are available in all types of precious metals and are perfect for layering.
HANDMADE BRACELETS
Handmade bracelets can range from hand forged silver or gold to beautifully designed beads strung in beautiful combinations. Handmade bracelets are generally unique items that express originality. A jeweler specializing in custom jewelry can work with you to create the perfect piece, inspired by a sentimental memory (such as creating a bracelet with the gemstone of your most loved engagement ring in a unique rose gold setting) or a bold fashion statement that looks just the way you want it to.
BRACELET WITH PENDANT
Small trinkets hang from pendant bracelets. You can have just one pendant on a bracelet or many! Each pendant can represent different people, places or sentimental values.
CUFF BRACELET
Cuff bracelets have little flexibility and are round or oval in shape. They tend to have a looser fit and are without a clip or closure. You can also usually find cuff bracelet style men’s options. Cuff bracelets are open at the back or front, there is no clasp. Try on a few styles and sizes to find the right fit for you.

Tennis bracelets, also known as line bracelets, are usually made of diamonds, although parts of them can be set with other gemstones. As with all bracelets, length and fit are important for both comfort and safety.
ARM BRACELET
An arm bracelet is a band or cuff type bracelet that is worn around the top of a person’s arm. They are usually made of cloth or metal and contain precious gems. Bracelets worn since ancient times are incredibly stylish and trendy.
VINTAGE BRACELET

TIPS FOR WEARING YOUR OWN BRACELET
Make sure you fasten the clip properly. If the clasp seems weak or opens on its own, bring the bracelet to your jeweler for a quick adjustment or repair.
If you have trouble attaching the clasps, have your jeweler compare it to a magnetic clasp
