BUYING TIPS Length: Womens bracelets are typically 6.5 inches to 7.5 inches in length and most American women use the 7.0 inch length. Men’s bracelets range from 7.0 inches to 9.0 inches with 8.0 inches as the most common length. Fit: A bracelet, regardless of style, should fit comfortably and be easily removed from the arm. A bangle bracelet should fit loosely on the wrist or arm, but it should not slide past the heel of the hand too easily. For a link bracelet, she should be able to slide two fingers in between the bracelet and the heel and adjust accordingly since most bracelets are adjustable. For a cuff bracelet, it should fit in a snug way on the wrist or forearm and it should not be at a position that is so tight that it causes swelling or discomfort. Texture: Although there are many materials that are used to make bracelets, the fashionable metallic bracelets are most popular in smooth surfaces and with well thought out patterns such as links, chains and byzantine style bracelets. Shine: Shinier materials do not necessarily make the best women’s bracelets. Although 24k gold, 22k gold, and 100% pure silver are very luminous and appealing to the eye, they are too malleable for every day use. When it comes to style, durability is equally as important. When choosing a bracelet, it is best to go with 18 karat, 14 karat and sterling silver (approximately 92.5% silver). On the other hand, materials that are too low in grade such as 10k and 12k gold are too dull in appearance.
