How can I tell if a bracelet is of good quality?

To determine a bracelet's quality, check for hallmarks indicating metal purity and ensure gemstones meet the Four Cs. Look for a smooth finish, symmetrical design, and secure clasps and settings. A good bracelet should feel substantial and move fluidly, with well-made links. Purchase from reputable brands, seek certificates of authenticity, and consider reviews and expert recommendations. A warranty and good customer service are also indicators of quality.

Can bracelets be resized?

Some bracelets, like chain or link bracelets, can be adjusted by adding or removing links. Others, like bangles, might need professional resizing.

 

Chain Bracelets: These can usually be adjusted by adding or removing links.

Bangles: Resizing solid bangles is more difficult and may require a professional jeweler to cut and re-solder the metal.

Cuff Bracelets: These can often be adjusted slightly by gently bending the metal to fit the wrist better.

Beaded Bracelets: Resizing involves restringing the beads to the desired length.

Leather Bracelets: Some leather bracelets have adjustable closures or can be trimmed and reattached.

 

Always consult with a professional jeweler to ensure proper resizing without damaging the bracelet.

What is the difference between a bangle and a cuff bracelet?

A bangle is a solid piece that slips over the hand, usually round or oval, while a cuff is open-ended and can be adjusted to fit the wrist.
