Bracelets

Tennis bracelets, bangles and cuffs, hand chains, line bracelets, chain and link bracelets, and stretch and slinky styles, in 14K and 18K gold with diamonds and colored gemstones. Tennis bracelets and bangles have their own edits; this is the whole wrist.

A bracelet that continues over the back of the hand to a ring, so a single diamond or emerald sits between the wrist and the knuckles. Ours run a fine 14K gold chain with a bezel-set stone at the center, made to move with the hand.

Nearly all of them, in 14K and 18K yellow, white and two-tone gold, and the listing names the metal every time. A handful of colored-stone strands, peridot, kyanite, topaz and rhodolite, are made in gold vermeil over sterling silver, which their listings state plainly.

Most of our tennis and chain bracelets adjust, and bangles are sized by inner diameter, which each listing gives. Measure the widest part of your hand with the thumb tucked in for a bangle, the wrist itself for a chain, and message us with the numbers; we will match you to the piece.

By its stone, because a wrist meets more door frames than a neck does. Diamond at 10 on the Mohs hardness scale and sapphire at 9 wear anywhere; emerald at 7.5 to 8, peridot, tanzanite and the garnets near 7 want ordinary caution; turquoise, kyanite and hand-carved stones come off before anything strenuous. Warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth clean all of them. Bezels earn their keep on a wrist, and most of our bracelets use them.
