Bangle Bracelets

How to choose a bangle

Start with the profile. A thin, smooth bangle is the most versatile and disappears under a sleeve; it is the perfect base for a stack. A textured design adds interest on its own: the twisted bangle plays with light along its spiral. For a more personal touch, the charm bangle carries a small pendant that moves with the wrist, and the personalized bangle can carry a name, initials or a meaningful word, depending on the options shown on its product page.

If you love the stacked look but do not want to think about combinations, the bangle set brings together several bangles designed to be worn together.

Open or closed: finding the right size

Closed bangles slip over the hand, so they need to be wide enough to pass the knuckles while not sliding too far up the arm. To check, bring your thumb and little finger together and measure around the widest part of the hand. Open bangles, sometimes called cuffs, slide on from the side of the wrist and can be gently adjusted; measure your wrist just above the bone and allow a little room. A bangle should move freely but not fall over the hand once on. Each product page indicates the inner diameter or wrist size. Our bracelet size chart helps you match your measurement to a size.

Gold or silver bangles

A gold bangle warms up the skin and brings a polished, slightly vintage elegance; gold bangles for women pair beautifully with white, cream, camel and black. A silver bangle feels cooler and more contemporary, ideal with grey, denim and navy. If you wear a watch, match its tone, or mix both deliberately in a stack. Most of our pieces are made of gold-tone or silver-tone stainless steel; the exact material is listed on each product page.

How to stack bangles

Three to five bangles on one wrist make a balanced stack. Mix widths and textures, a smooth bangle, a twisted one and one with a charm, and keep one tone, or two at most. The same balance works on the fingers, as our guide on how to stack rings explains. You can also wear your bangles on the same wrist as your watch, placing the watch at the end of the stack. Bangles knock against each other when you move, so take them off for typing-heavy days if the sound bothers you, and before sport, swimming or cleaning. Wipe them with a soft cloth; our guide on how to clean gold jewelry explains the rest. More styles await in our bracelets collection.
