What Makes a Bracelet a Bracelet?

White Gold Pear Diamond Bracelet

Although this may seem like an obvious answer, many use bracelet terms interchangeably. For instance, when comparing bracelets and bangles, there are differences that set these beautiful wrist pieces apart.

A bracelet is a piece of jewelry designed to drape the wrist loosely and is typically made of a thin chain, links, or beads to allow it to flow unrestricted. While this flexible jewelry piece can be made of various materials, from beaded gemstones to precious metals, you’ll find gold bracelets and diamond bracelets among the most popular.

What is a Bangle?

A bangle, while often mislabeled as a women’s bracelet, is a rigid, ring-shaped jewelry piece made of metal and designed to be worn around the wrist. Traditional bangles are a closed circular design without a clasp for closure. Like many women’s bracelets, bangles can be found in various lengths, band widths, and precious gemstone settings.

Is a Cuff a Bracelet?       

Yellow Gold Wide Cuff Bangle

While some may be quick to add a cuff to the bangle family, it is a type of men’s and women’s bracelet. While its rigid form can be deceiving, a cuff does not completely wrap around the wrist. This shape and lack of clasp closure tell us a cuff is not a bangle but a stunning type of bracelet.

What are the Most Popular Types of Women’s Bracelets?

With so many incredible choices available, from dazzling diamond bracelets to dainty white gold bracelet pieces, where should you begin? Our women’s bracelet experts have put together a list of the most popular bracelet types to help you narrow your focus, including:

What is a Diamond Tennis Bracelet?

Top Considerations when Selecting the Ideal Women’s Bracelet

Our knowledgeable staff knows what it takes to select the ideal type of women’s bracelet. From diamond bracelets for a formal event to a classy white gold bracelet for everyday wear, they’ve put together some of their best tips for choosing her gift. Selecting a bracelet for your loved one requires more consideration than you may realize, so we’re here to help you through the process. As you begin your bracelet shopping, make sure to keep the four following considerations in mind:

1. Consider Her Style when Bracelet Shopping

From casual to formal and subtle to bold, selecting the perfect linked white gold bracelet or lovely diamond bracelet for her special gift includes consideration of her style. Would she prefer the elegant design of a brilliant diamond tennis bracelet to dress up for special occasions?

Browse the full LAGOS collection to find the perfect fit.

2. Why is a Bracelet’s Durability Important?

While you’ll always find the highest-quality women’s bracelets at Fink’s Jewelers, durability is essential for her wrist jewelry. Think about her lifestyle and how everyday bracelet wear may affect a feminine, thin rope, or diamond bracelet you select. Is she a fan of outdoor adventures, leaving her tennis bracelet susceptible to breakage and loss? Or could her dainty diamond bracelet be in need of a double-locking clasp for added security and peace of mind?

The durability of the women’s bracelet you choose can ensure your precious investment does not need constant jewelry repair and remains secure on her wrist. From selecting an ideal length that isn’t likely to get caught to choosing a durable width for her beautiful gemstone or solid white gold bracelet, evaluating the bracelet’s durability will ensure it stays pristine and timeless for years to come.    

3. Consider Diamond Shape when Picking a Diamond Bracelet

If you already have your heart set on gifting her a beautiful diamond bracelet, the diamond’s shape should be taken into consideration. While many use a diamond’s shape and cut interchangeably, it’s the shape that most women are attracted to initially. Although it’s not part of the 4C’s of a diamond, the shape of a diamond plays an important role in diamond bracelet shopping. Referring to the outline of the stone, the shape of the stone can give a diamond bracelet its character and appeal.
