Gold-Plated Bracelets

Bracelets mostly differ in how much they show. A fine chain with a small detail is discreet and goes with everything. A tennis bracelet with stones all the way round gives the most shine. A heavier link bracelet is the boldest of them and holds its shape better over time.

If you want to wear several at once, different thicknesses usually look best, a fine chain alongside something heavier. It's also worth letting a bracelet sit slightly loose, so it can move around the wrist.

The base is always 925 sterling silver, not steel or brass, with a layer of 18 karat gold on top. Bracelets get more friction than earrings or necklaces, since the wrist moves against desks and sleeves all day. Take the bracelet off when you exercise or wash up and the surface will last considerably longer.
