Whether it’s a yellow gold bangle, a white gold curb chain or a silver cuff, the women’s bracelet is a must-have in jewelry.
Elegant and rich in meaning, it’s perfect for a gift. But among the different models, making a choice is not always easy;
Here is our advice for choosing a women’s bracelet.
What type of bracelet should a woman choose?
There are many types of women’s bracelets, for all tastes and styles. Among them, we can notably mention:
- The chic and feminine bangle bracelet, which features a rounded ring and a clasp.
- The bracelet, which has a plate on which the person’s first name and date of birth are sometimes engraved.
- The chain with medal, which is presented as a baptismal medal in the form of a bracelet. The pendant can also be engraved.
In the Maison Arthus Bertrand catalog , you will find a large collection of bracelets, medallion bracelets and bangles.
When looking for a bracelet for women, it is also possible to make your choice based on the material. The most commonly used materials for this jewel are yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, silver and vermeil.
The choice of material depends above all on the person’s preferences. However, it may also be interesting to take into account their complexion and hair color.
Indeed, yellow gold and rose gold are considered to have warm colors and, therefore, are perfectly suited to dark complexions and hair.
Still according to this theory, white gold and silver would be ideally suited to light complexions and light hair.
Why choose a gold bracelet for women?
The gold bracelet is a particularly popular piece of jewelry. Durable and full of beauty, it is perfect for a gift. For this piece of jewelry, 3 gold colors are available:
Maison Arthus Bertrand offers women’s bracelets in 18-carat gold (750 thousandths). They feature a hallmark in the shape of an eagle’s head, which certifies their pure gold content: 75%. The rest is composed of an alloy of metals, which gives the bracelet its solidity. Pure gold, which is far too fragile, is only used for gold bars and coins.
Why choose a silver women’s bracelet?
The silver bracelet for women is a very elegant choice. Highly appreciated for its sublime white shine, this precious metal is one of the most worked.
They are composed of 92.5% pure silver, and 7.5% of a metal alloy. Here again, this association is made for its solidity: like gold, silver is a soft metal, which cannot be worked in jewelry without being alloyed with more robust metals.
What length should I choose for the bracelet?
The standard length of a women’s bracelet is 18 centimeters. However, it is important that the bracelet fits the person’s wrist. In order to be comfortable, it should not be too loose or too tight. But unlike a ring , the bracelet does not always require a precise measurement: it can be adjustable, or simply not have a clasp, as is the case with the cuff.
Thus, Maison Arthus Bertrand offers a wide choice of adjustable bracelets. Generally 18 centimeters long, they can then be modified to measure a few centimeters more or less. To know your wrist size, the simplest method is to use a tape measure.
You must then wrap it above the wrist bone. However, if you do not have a tape measure, a simple string and a ruler can do the trick perfectly.
