How To Choose The Right Bracelet
There are many different styles and types of bracelets, so it’s important that you do your research to find the piece that suits your personal style, the occasion and your outfit.
1. Belcher Bracelets
A belcher bracelet is a type of jewellery that features a chain made up of small, interlocking links. The links are usually round or oval-shaped and come in a range of materials such as silver and gold. These bracelets are popular for their simplicity and versatility. For a personal touch, add a pendant or charm.
These chains also range in style from delicate and dainty to chunky and bold so they really are a timeless accessory that can be styled to suit your needs.

Bangles are an easy way to add that extra element of sophistication to a look while staying relevant and on-style.

How To Style Bracelets - 3 Different Ways
The thing with styling bracelets is that there is no right or wrong way to wear them. You can wear a singular bracelet for a simple look, or decide to layer to make it more exciting.
1. Choose Bracelets With a Common Theme
To make sure that your look is cohesive, try to select bracelets with the same metal such as silver bracelets, gold bracelets or rose gold bracelets. By investing in one metal colour, it means that you can style all of your bracelets with ease. On the other hand though, mixing metals can also be a fun way to add a unique touch so it’s entirely up to you which look you prefer.
To create the ultimate capsule wardrobe, you can also try to keep your gemstone colour the same across your jewellery. By doing this you can easily mix and match your bracelets without too much thought or time. It’s fun to add some colour to your look, and incorporating gemstones is a great way to do just that!
2. Contrast shapes and sizes
To add interest and dimension to your look, you should make sure that your bracelets vary in size and shape. Keep it interesting and fun with a combination of bangles, charm bracelets, chain bracelets and tennis bracelets. You could even incorporate a watch into the curation, which is a chic, classic and practical choice.
3. Consider the Occasion
Casual Occasions
For a chic everyday look, we suggest going with a two-bracelet layer. One should be more simplistic such as a chain bracelet or bangle, and then with the other, you can have some more fun with charms and sparkles. Using this method will ensure that your look is trendy and on style, while staying toned down and casual. Top off the look with some simple stacking rings and a necklace chain - and you’re ready to take on your day!
Formal Events
For a formal event, you will want to go with a bracelet ensemble that has a bit more bling. This is the perfect time to bring out a dazzling tennis bracelet and really wow those around you. Try to match the metal of your jewellery to the accents of your dress and other accessories like handbags and shoes. This way, your whole look will be cohesive. Try wearing bracelets on both wrists, and stick with minimalistic classic pieces, rather than busy charm bracelets.
Now you know the different styles of bracelets and how to style them, you’re ready to take the plunge into accessorising and creating your very own look.
