A rigid, clasp-less bracelet slipped on over the hand. Simple, elegant, timeless. Worn alone for a minimalist effect or stacked for a maximalist effect.

The Cuff

A wide, rigid bracelet, open at the top. Bold, distinctive, visible. For women who own their style.

The Beaded Bracelet

Natural beads or stones on elastic or 925 sterling silver wire. Elegant, feminine, full of meaning. See our beaded jewelry collection.

How to Measure Your Wrist

For a well-fitting bracelet:

1. Measure your wrist circumference with a tape measure or string
2. Add 1 to 2 cm for a comfortable fit
3. Add 2 to 3 cm for a looser fit (bohemian style)

Standard sizes: XS = 15 cm / S = 16 cm / M = 17 cm / L = 18 cm / XL = 19 cm

How to Stack Your Bracelets

• Rule of 3: 1 thin bracelet + 1 medium + 1 wide = perfect balance
• Same metal: Stick to 925 sterling silver for consistency
• Vary textures: Polished + matte + stones = visual depth
• Avoid overloading: 3 to 5 bracelets maximum to stay elegant

The Bracelet-Watch: A Category Apart

Between a bracelet and a timepiece, the bracelet-watch holds a unique place in a woman's jewelry wardrobe. Unlike a decorative bracelet, it combines practical function with aesthetic presence — particularly in our marcasite or sultanite models, where the dial becomes a true jewelry element rather than a simple functional accessory. Worn alone, it advantageously replaces several stacked bracelets while maintaining a daily utility that other bracelets do not have.

Women's Bracelet vs. Men's Bracelet

The line is increasingly blurred. Unisex 925 sterling silver bracelets exist. For men's jewelry: Men's 925 Sterling Silver Rings — 50 Models.
