The silver bracelets

The silver bracelet is one ornament that has captured many hearts. Despite other more expensive and thereby more desired jewellery items, the silver jewellery bracelet continues to be a favourite of many. Worn by men and women both, theses lovely wrist adorning jewellery items are quite a craze with the younger generation too.

This silver bracelet comes in many designs, colours and patterns. Despite the more expensive gems like diamonds, rubies and emeralds finding favour with gold bangles or platinum ones, it is true that stones like topaz, turquoise, amethysts, and jasper have made the silver bangles and bracelets amazing too.

Jewellery bracelet comes in various designs and while some are plain silver, others could be studded with various precious and semi precious stones. It is a fact the stones like rubies, diamonds and emeralds find more takers for them when studded in gold bangles or platinum bracelets, but this is not to say that silver bracelets are forced to live a life rid of colours. Stones like topaz, turquoise, amethysts, jasper, etc are often used in fine silver jewellery and allow the wearer the liberty to play with colours.

Silver bracelet comes in various types of finishes. So one can choose the antique look where the surface is oxidized and thereby adopts a blackish hue, or one could take the glossy finish where the ornament shines in a bold silver colour. There is the matte finish too which is quite popular these days and here while there is no dark hue to the silver ornament, it is not polished and therefore the shine is missing. Do pay attention to the storage of silver ornaments since over time they could darken and loose their lustre and require to be polished again.

Though the standard size for jewellery bracelets for women is 7 inches and 8 inches for men, one can buy these bracelets in almost any size. Do keep in mind though that if the bracelet type is a bangle, it will not be possible to increase its size and another piece will have to be made.

In the case of chain like bracelets, it is possible to add an extra piece and increase the length of the original bracelet it self in order to fit a larger wrist.

The other types of bracelets made in silver are charm bracelets, tennis bracelets, slap bracelet, etc. Some can easily be slipped on like a gold bangle while others come with clasps and screws, while yet others come with an open mouth that simply needs to be pushed closer together once worn.
