When it comes to jewellery, bracelets always make great gifts. Even if you want to treat yourself, they're a great choice. If you think about it, bracelets are, next to rings, the pieces of jewellery that you will appreciate the most while wearing them.
They are perfect for layering, stacking and changing from day to day. There are a variety of styles, materials and sizes to consider when making your purchase. From delicate gold chains to bold, eye-catching leather bracelets, each offers a unique, personalised style that can complement your outfit and enhance your personality.
They also have symbolic meaning in many cultures and traditions. They can represent friendship, love, protection as a charm or simply be a reminder of a special moment. Whether you choose a charm bracelet, an elegant designer piece or a bracelet with precious gemstones, each one tells a story and adds a special touch to your look.
TYPES OF BRACELETS
Cuff
Traditionally rigid and with no clasp closure or partially open, bracelets are hoop-shaped and simply slip over the wrist to wear. They are usually made of solid metal and may sometimes have a hinge to allow the wearer to easily put it on the wrist.
In High Jewellery we usually find them with a diamond pavé or accompanying other diamonds of larger or more special cuts, or different gemstones.
Cuff bracelets tend to be wide and thick, featuring a wide variety of textures, patterns or gemstones. Thinner cuffs can provide a delicate or elegant touch as well.
With Accounts
Bead bracelets are versatile pieces. Made from many different materials such as gemstones, glass, wood and more, beaded bracelets can be easily customised or stacked to match your style. Perfect for a casual look.
Although this type of piece is more commonly found in costume jewellery, the latest trends in jewellery have brought us in recent seasons to our jewellery boxes some of this type made with all kinds of precious stones.
Chain
These bracelets are usually made of metal links intertwined to form a chain. With a variety of chain types, thicknesses and materials to choose from, a wide range of options are available.
They are one of the most classic types of bracelets, so if retro and vintage inspiration is your thing, you're going to love them.
Charm
Perhaps one of the most customisable bracelet styles is the charms bracelet. These linked bracelets have charms that adorn the length of the bracelet. Each charm can represent a different life moment, person, place or other sentimental memory.
Tennis or Riviere
A timeless classic, tennis bracelets can be adorned with any gemstone, but often feature diamonds along their length. Elegant and versatile, it's easy to create a simple, yet fashionable look with one or more tiers to add interest.
Wrap or multi-wrap type
This variety often have a single clasp or no clasp and wrap around the wrist several times, creating a layered look with only one piece. Similar to the layering effect that has been on trend for a few seasons now.
Material
Although there are an infinite number of materials, for Gordillo Joyeros sustainability and quality is always a premise, which is why we only design and manufacture pieces with the most durable metals and materials such as gold and platinum. This also includes the use of genuine gemstones or diamonds that will not lose their shine or value over time. A better long-term investment. A legacy that will transcend generations.
High-quality but more casual materials such as macramé, fabrics or leather are also a perfect fashion accessory to follow the latest trends.
The Right Choice
When buying a bracelet for yourself or a loved one, make sure it's the right size. Yes, bracelets come in different lengths, but you don't have to worry if you haven't got the size right. Our workshops will tailor the piece to the needs of the person you're giving it to.
Also consider the lifestyle of the intended recipient and think about what kind of bracelets they tend to wear. Do they prefer charms bracelets that can be easily added to or personalised, or would they prefer something more discreet and versatile like a riviere? Do they prefer to wear a different bracelet every day? Perhaps several combinable pieces would work better.
Consider daily wear and tear as well. Do you often work at a desk? Repeatedly banging or resting your wrists on a desk may influence which type of wristband would be most comfortable for the wearer.
Whatever your desire, at Gordillo Joyeros we are happy to help you decide on the purchase of your perfect piece of jewellery.
