Before we get into what you should consider before buying a bracelet, let’s first look at the most common types of bracelets.

BANGLE

Bangle bracelets are a type of jewelry that you put on by wrapping around your wrist; they don’t have clasps or any other kind of fasteners. They are often made out of metal and have gemstones embedded into them for accentuation.

CUFF

Cuff bracelets, also known as closed bangles or semi-open bangles, are one form of a bangle bracelet. They tend to be wide and chunky with varying textures, patterns or precious stones; they’re easy on/off due to their partially open design

CHARM

One of the most customizable types of the bracelet is the charm bracelet. It features small charms that adorn its length. Each charm can represent a different life moment or memory—you decide!

WRAP

Wrap bracelets usually have a single clasp and go around the wrist multiple times, resulting in a layered appearance with just one bracelet. Like layering bracelets, a wrap can give any outfit a unique flair with the addition of a single bracelet.

Fashion type of bracelet is cheaper because the materials cost less. However, they can also be live short. Because of the lower quality materials, fashion jewelry often break easily, gets dull over time, and doesn’t hold its value.
