Choosing bracelets

Start with wrist fit

Measure your wrist and compare the actual length of the design. Consider whether you prefer a closer fit or more movement, and ask which adjustments are possible. Width, flexibility and weight help describe comfort more clearly than a photograph alone.

Inspect the closure and stone information

Check the clasp and any safety feature supplied with the selected bracelet. Read the stone identity, dimensions and total weight where applicable. A flexible stone-set bracelet has different wearing and inspection considerations from a simple chain; use the individual product’s construction to guide care.

Bracelets FAQs

What matters most when choosing fine jewellery bracelets?

When choosing a bracelet, we'd look at how it moves on the wrist as well as how it appears. A fine chain feels different from a row of individually set gemstones. We'd compare the overall width, length, link construction and clasp rather than judge only by close-up photographs. A bracelet can be elegant without feeling restrictive, and comfort matters particularly if you'll wear it every day.

How should I check the size and fit of fine jewellery bracelets?

Measuring the wrist is a useful starting point, but the most comfortable bracelet length depends on the design and how much movement you prefer. Some people like a closer fit; others enjoy a little drape. We'd compare the listed length and flexibility of the links, then check that the clasp feels secure. A linked tennis bracelet may fit differently from a plain chain of similar length.

How do I look after fine jewellery bracelets in regular use?

Bracelets often come into contact with hard surfaces during normal wear, so we'd recommend removing them for activities where they're likely to be knocked. Check the clasp and flexible links periodically, especially on stone-set designs. Storing the piece separately can reduce rubbing and scratching. If you notice a loose stone or link, have it inspected before wearing the bracelet again.
