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.

3. Charm Bracelet 

Charm bracelets are one of our favourite styles, because they can be customised to match your personal aesthetic. Typically, a charm bracelet consists of a chain with various small, decorative pendants or “charms” attached to it. They can be symbolic, represent a special memory or occasion or simply be decorative. You can add and remove charms as you please to make it completely your own.

Bangles are slightly different to the other styles of bracelets because they have a rigid shape, and usually do not have any clasp or opening. They can be plain or feature embellishments and intricate designs depending on the kind of gold bangle, silver bangle or rose gold bangle you to choose from. 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. Whether you’re going to a formal event, a birthday party or even to the shops, bracelets are an easy way to look and feel confident and put together.

FAQs

Is it okay to wear bracelets on both wrists?

Yes, it's okay to wear bracelets on both wrists if you like the look and feel of them. The best thing about fashion is there are no strict rules about how you should accessorise. Whether you choose to wear bracelets on one wrist, both wrists, or even mix them with a watch, it's all about what makes you feel confident and comfortable! 

How do you wear a bracelet with a watch?

Try coordinating colours and materials for a harmonious look or intentionally contrast them for a unique style - the choice is yours! Ultimately, prioritise your comfort and experiment to find a combination that suits your personal fashion taste.

How many bracelets should you wear at once?

There's no strict rule about how many bracelets you should wear, but a good guideline is to avoid stacking multiple bracelets that will overwhelm your wrist. Generally, wearing 2-4 bracelets can create an aesthetically pleasing look, without appearing too crowded. However, if you're going for a more minimalistic style, you might opt for just one or even none. 

How many bracelets is classy?

A classy bracelet arrangement prioritises quality over quantity, often featuring one or two high-quality bracelets with timeless and simple designs. Focus on complementary colours, occasion appropriateness, and personal comfort.
