How Much is a Bangle Bracelet?
Finding the Right Bangles for You
Today, it would be tough to track down a jewelry lover who doesn’t have a stack of vintage bangles and other bracelets ready to go for any occasion.
People have worn bangles and other bracelets for centuries. Examples can be found in the wide range of personal adornments favored by the Ancient Egyptians, some of whom wore bracelets and armlets made of gold and flecked with gemstones such as lapis and turquoise.
Fashion has evolved over the years, but the popularity of bangles has remained the same. Jewelry makers have created cuffs in all manner of styles, and no matter what your taste, you can find antique and vintage diamond bangles, ruby bangles, emerald bangles and more to suit you and to pair with any of your favorite ensembles. And although “bracelets” and “bangles” are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between the two.
Bangles are solid, one-piece bands that are always characterized by their rigid ring shape. Today, they’re made of metal, plastic, wood or other materials. Because this cuff is a solid piece, you have to slide it over your hand. Bracelets, however, are flexible pieces. Whether they’re charm bracelets, link bracelets, beaded bracelets or another variety, you open and close a bracelet at its ends, where it locks around your wrist with a clasp.
Bracelets and bangles suit most anyone, and there’s a style of bangle for every occasion, whether you’ve opted for an Art Deco bangle, a Victorian-era bangle or another kind. And their versatility doesn’t end there. Jewelry lovers know that when it comes to bangle bracelets (and other kinds of bracelets), you never have to choose just one. Just as you might wear a vintage tennis bracelet by itself or pair it with other thin bracelets, you can opt for a simple pared-down look with a single bangle or go big and stack your sculptural modern bangles to deepen their impact or double up your classic gold bangles and pair them with a T-shirt and jeans or a comfortable cotton day dress.
Browse an extensive collection of vintage bangle bracelets and other bracelets on 1stDibs. Find extraordinary works by iconic jewelry houses such as Cartier, Tiffany Co. and David Webb, or peruse the array of link bracelets, cuff bracelets and diamond bangle bracelets for innumerable accessorizing options.
- What is a cuff bangle bracelet?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A cuff bangle bracelet is a type of jewelry worn on the wrist. It is a cross between a continuous loop bracelet called a bangle and a bracelet with an open design called a cuff. Typically, a cuff bangle features either a hinged closure that allows it to come on and off easily like a cuff or has an open end connected by a chain so that it covers the entire wrist like a bangle. Shop a wide variety of bracelets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Both a bangle and a bracelet are worn on the wrist. A bangle is more rigid and set in its shape whereas a bracelet is more flexible. Shop a wide range of both bangles and bracelets, as well as other jewelry, on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The standard size for most women’s bangles and cuff bracelets is seven inches long with a two-and-a-half-inch diameter. When shopping for bangles, check the item’s measurements to ensure a comfortable fit. Browse a wide range of bangles and bracelets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023The difference between a cuff bracelet and a bangle lies in the design of the jewelry. A bangle bracelet goes all the way around the wrist and either slips on or has a hinged closure that allows it to open and close. A cuff bracelet has a gap and no closure. To put a cuff bracelet on, you slip one end over the wrist and gently push it into place. Shop a large collection of bracelets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023What a cuff bangle bracelet means is open to interpretation. A cuff bangle bracelet is a specific type of bracelet that blends elements of classic cuff bracelets with those of bangles. Cuff bracelets were symbols of protection in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, including as part of armor. Cuff bracelets have also been symbols of power and prestige, with Coco Chanel bringing this historic style into modern fashion in the 1930s with her signature silver and enamel bracelets.
