Buying Guide - Bangles & Bracelets

Next to a ring, bracelets are the only other jewelry that can be admired throughout the day. And with each glance she’ll be reminded that she is treasured.

If you’re purchasing a gift for a mother, sister or any other relative, consider a fashion bracelet. Bracelets are less personal than rings, but no less appreciated.

At Mariloff, we understand that every fine jewelry purchase is an important one, and we are committed to helping you select the perfect piece. We’ve created the following Buying Guide to offer advice and suggestions to make this process as easy as possible.

At any point during the process, feel free to call and speak to one of our Personal Advisors. We have years of experience and expertise that we are more than willing to share with you.

First, let’s distinguish a bangle from a bracelet.
Bracelets are essentially individual links with diamonds or colored gems incorporated into the links of the chain.

A bangle does not have any flexibility. It’s a hollow metal circle with a hinged clasp and stones set along the outside.

What’s the occasion?
Is this bracelet for everyday wear or special occasion only?

Decide which precious metal she prefers.
Look at her current jewelry collection or ask her family and friends. The metals we craft are platinum, yellow gold, and white gold. We also offer several selections created from both gold and platinum.

Is there a particular bracelet style she prefers?
Metal only? Diamonds? Pearls? Semiprecious stones?

If you can’t decide on a stone, consider her wardrobe.
What colors does she wear most?

If you are shopping for a birthday gift, consider her birthstone.
