Women's Bracelets at By Charlotte

Bracelets are the pieces you notice when you reach for a coffee, wave across a room or lean over a notebook, so they should feel like yours. Our women's bracelets come as chains, bangles and charm styles, each one designed in Sydney with a meaning to go with the shine.

What is the difference between a bracelet and a bangle?

A chain bracelet closes with a clasp and can be adjusted, which suits most wrists. The I Am Protected bracelet has loops that bring it in a little for a closer fit. A bangle is a rigid band you slide on, like the Live in Love bangle, and it is sized in millimetres, while the silver hinged bangle brings a hinged style in sterling silver. Choose a chain if you like movement and a bangle if you want one clean line.

What makes a bracelet meaningful?

Look for the symbol that matches the moment. An evil eye pendant stands for protection, a baroque freshwater pearl for calm and a lotus for growth, which you'll find in the lotus bracelet. The pearl bracelet is a gentle choice for someone who needs a pause, and the evil eye bracelet in 14k solid gold is for a person you want to keep safe.

Which metal should I start with?

Gold vermeil gives you the colour at a friendlier price, and our 18k gold vermeil bracelets run from slim chains to polished bangles. When you want gold with no coating to wear away, gold bracelets include solid 14k and 18k designs. If a stack is the goal, dainty bracelets are the easiest way to begin, and the jewellery sale is another way to start for less.

Bracelets FAQs

What is a good bracelet to give a best friend?

Pick a bracelet with a meaning you both recognise, such as protection, calm or growth. If you'd like them to match, choose the same design for each of you in sterling silver or 18k gold vermeil, and add a short note to say what it stands for.

How do I measure my wrist for a bracelet?

Wrap a soft tape measure around your wrist just above the bone and add 1 to 2cm for a comfortable fit. Chain bracelets such as I Am Protected are 18cm with loops to shorten them, while bangles come in sizes such as 63mm and 66mm, so check the size on the product page before you choose.

Do you have charm bracelets?

Our charm bracelets are made in 18k gold vermeil and sterling silver, in designs including Love Unlocked, You Have My Heart and Celestial Skies.

What is the difference between gold vermeil and gold plated bracelets?

Gold vermeil is 18k gold, at least 2.5 microns thick, over a sterling silver base. Gold plating can go over other base metals and is often thinner, so check the base metal and the thickness when you compare bracelets.
