Chain
Chain bracelets are flexible and fasten with a clasp; see the different types of chain links
here. When a strand of individual diamonds or gemstones is set in a row they are often referred to as "tennis bracelets." Clasps should have a second locking device, called a safety to prevent loss if the clasp opens.

Select the Right Bracelet Size
While your local jeweler can expertly size your perfect bracelet length, there are some general guidelines to help you find the right sized bracelet.
The ideal bracelet size is .25”-1” larger than your wrist size, depending on the bracelet style and your preferred fit. For link or chain bracelets, you should be able to slide one to two fingers between the chain and your wrist. A bangle should not slide onto your wrist easily. A cuff should fit snug, not loose, on your wrist or forearm.
How to Layer Bracelets
Bracelets are fun and expressive, especially when layered. Some common ways to layer your collection and get a look that is creative and under control, rather than messy:
- Use color as an anchor when stacking/layering bracelets.
- Select similar sized bracelets in a variety of materials.
- Mix metals and textures with clean, less ornate designs. Think yellow, white and rose gold, and matte with shiny textures.
Shop With Confidence
Your local jeweler can help you find the perfect bracelets. Visit a retailer near you or shop online with a
Jewelers of America Member so you can shop for earrings with confidence from a reputable jeweler.
