Bangle Bracelet: The Complete Guide to Choosing the Perfect Bangle
Timeless, elegant and easy to style, the bangle bracelet is one of the most versatile jewelry pieces. In this guide, discover how to choose the right shape, size, and finish — and how to care for your bangle to keep its shine.
What is a bangle bracelet?
A bangle bracelet is a rigid bracelet, unlike chain bracelets. It can be round, oval, open or closed, and creates a clean, structured line on the wrist.
Bangles can be worn individually for a minimalist look, or stacked together for a more fashion-forward style.
Open vs Closed Bangles
Closed Bangle
A full circle design — classic and iconic. It slides over the hand, so hand fit is essential.
