Bracelets: style & personality

Whether you prefer something delicate or bold, a bracelet is a subtle way to express yourself. Chain bracelets consist of interlocking links and range from slender pieces for everyday wear to chunky designs that draw attention. Cuff bracelets slide over the wrist and can be adjusted to fit, while leather bands bring a relaxed, natural feel. Many designs can be personalised with engravings or charms, making them thoughtful gifts for loved ones or a special treat for yourself.

Materials & craftsmanship

From precious metals like gold and silver to durable stainless steel and recycled brass, the material you choose sets the tone of your jewellery. Cuffs are often adorned with gemstones or intricate patterns, while braided leather pieces evoke a bohemian vibe. Increasingly, jewellers use fair‑trade and recycled materials to reduce their environmental footprint. Pair your bracelet with matching necklaces or earrings to create a coordinated look.

Swiss tradition & trends

Switzerland has a long tradition of fine craftsmanship, and local artisans often create unique pieces that combine classic design with modern elements. Current trends include layering several bracelets of varying widths and textures, as well as mixing metals and materials. Delicate chains paired with colourful beads or recycled fabrics offer a playful twist. Pieces featuring alpine motifs like edelweiss add a regional touch and make lovely souvenirs.

Combinations & gift ideas

Bracelets are versatile gifts for birthdays, anniversaries or milestones. Choose a slim bangle to accompany a watch, or select a leather strap for a more casual look. You can create matching sets by combining bracelets with a pair of rings or a pendant. Pay attention to the wearer’s style and skin tone when selecting metals: warm skin tones pair well with rose gold and yellow gold, while cooler tones suit silver and white gold.

Care & sustainability

To keep your jewellery in excellent condition, store it in a soft pouch and avoid contact with water, perfume and household chemicals. Clean metal pieces with a gentle polishing cloth and treat leather bands with a conditioner designed for leather goods. When shopping for new pieces, consider brands that prioritise ethical sourcing and environmentally responsible practices; many now offer jewellery made from recycled metals and conflict‑free stones.

Care & significance

Store your bracelets separately in a jewellery box to avoid scratches. Layering bracelets with watches and bangles is popular and allows you to reinvent your look every day. Many people associate special memories with a bracelet – your favourite piece could become an heirloom passed down through generations.
