Men's bracelets are becoming increasingly popular. To make sure you get the right one men's bracelet buy for yourself or for someone else, we list five things you need to know about bracelets for men.
1. Do men's bracelets have meaning?
Men's bracelets are of course beautiful fashion accessories. A men's bracelet naturally has several meanings. We list a number of meanings:
- Confirmation of your personality: which style bracelet and which materials you choose says a lot about your personality. With a large, wide silver bracelet with a coarse link you give a different image of yourself than if you choose a narrow, leather bracelet with a silver block as an accent.
- Personal symbolism: bracelets can also be a personal symbol for you. Many people choose a matching women's and men's bracelet or two men's bracelets to emphasize their connection with each other. A bracelet can also be a beautiful souvenir of a special event.
- Social meaning: unlike rings, for example, there is no universal symbolism in bracelets. Traditionally, the bracelet is worn on the left arm on informal occasions, while the men's bracelet is worn on the right arm on formal occasions.
One of the trends in men's bracelets is the distinctive Bali style. We already let you know earlier 5 unique Bali style men's bracelets see.
2. On which hand do men wear bracelets?
There is no set etiquette for wearing men's bracelets. We hardly use the 'wearing instruction' for formal and informal occasions anymore.
For practical reasons, many experts recommend wearing bracelets on the opposite arm to the one you wear your watch on. This prevents both pieces of jewelry from 'stealing' attention from each other and from damage, for example because the bracelet causes scratches on the glass of your watch due to movement.
3. What is the correct size for men's bracelets?
It is unclear to many people how tight a men's bracelet should be. Moreover, if you buy men's bracelets for someone else, you do not want to buy a bracelet that is too tight or too large.
To determine the size of men's bracelets, measure the circumference of your wrist where you want to wear the bracelet. Then you add 1 (if you want to wear the bracelet on the skin) or 2 centimeters (for a looser bracelet).
You can always return a purchased bracelet from us. That is a reassuring thought if you buy the bracelet as a gift for yourself or someone else.
4. How do you keep men's bracelets beautiful?
Of course you want to enjoy your men's bracelets for a long time. This can be done by doing the following:
- Take off your men's bracelet(s) when you go to sleep. This prevents you from getting caught on something in your sleep and breaking your bracelet;
- Also take off your bracelet(s) when you go swimming in salt water or in the pool. Depending on the material, chlorine and salt have different bad effects. For example, salt can affect the quality of leather bracelets, while chlorine causes silver to discolour.
- Clean your bracelets if you have made a spill. You can simply rinse our silver bracelets with warm water and a drop of dishwashing liquid. If the bracelet contains leather or bead elements, you can dab them with a damp cloth and then dry with a dry cloth.
5. Are men's bracelets expensive?
There are a number of factors that determine the price of a men's bracelet. The most important factor is the material. Yet men's bracelets do not have to be expensive. In our webshop you can find silver men's bracelets from EUR 74,95. If you choose a men's bracelet made of different materials, for example a combination of Labradorite and silver, you can get it from EUR 29,95.
