Silver Bracelets

A sterling silver bracelet is 925 sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper. That alloy can tarnish over time when it meets air and moisture, so care is mostly about limiting both. Wipe the silver bracelet with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store it away from humidity. Some pieces carry an intentionally oxidized finish; clean those gently to preserve it.

Start with the closure, because it changes what you measure. A bangle has no clasp and must pass over the hand, so measure around the widest part of your hand. A clasp or adjustable silver bracelet is sized to the wrist instead: measure where you want the 925 sterling silver bracelet to sit and allow a little ease so it moves without binding. Some styles are offered as a single piece, a pair, or a set.
