Hand Picked, The Delicate Bracelets Worth Shopping

The beauty of a slim bracelet is that little can go a long way. Chains should sit closely on the wrist and not get lost in it, fine enough to sparkle and not distract, but weighty enough that you don’t feel the need to double-check your clasp every few seconds. Cable chains, box chains and simple curb links usually fare better than busy textures because you want a slim line of metal that accentuates rather than distracts from your arm. Play with how it sits when your wrist is relaxed. Does it twist or crease? If so, the links are either too big for the clasp or too small for themselves and both will twist and break down over years of general wear.

Gold fill or solid gold will never fade or turn green like plated jewelry will in 12 months or less of wearing it around soap and skin.

Sterling silver will do the same, but bear in mind if the finish is mirrored smooth then you’re better off with brushed or matte finishes as they disguise scratches far better than a shiny finish. Think about your clasp. Little lobster clasps are infuriatingly fiddly to handle on jewelry you’ll be wearing every day; a solid toggle clamp or spring ring that can be opened and closed easily with one hand is infinitely more useful than flair elsewhere on the bracelet.

Style tip: Stack ’em up. When wearing multiple bracelets don’t just throw them on. Two or three slim bracelets of different lengths and finishes will look like you tried. Five that match exactly will not. Mix metals if you like, but if stacking two or more choose one to be predominant rather than split them 50/50. By itself, or on a naked wrist a skinny chain does subtle things that a chunky cuff bracelet or watch just cannot. Its particularly nice under sleeves, sleeveless bodices, or really any top where your forearms are on display. Wearing several allow you to change up the look completely by swapping out only one.

This should be jewelry you feel comfortable wearing daily because it goes from your day job straight out to the bars and slides under a shirt sleeve with ease. It won’t compete with a statement piece when you want to wear something big either. The best kind become part of your everyday ensemble and before you know it you glimpse yourself in a photo or low light setting and realize your bling has been working double.
