Introduction

People have been wearing bracelets forever. From the early days of humans, we’ve adorned our wrists with all kinds of decorations to make ourselves look pretty, show off our wealth and power, or just because we felt like it. But chain bracelets are a fairly new invention: they’re made from chains, which didn’t come into use until big human inventions like efficient locks and suspension bridges came along. So if you think about it, chain bracelets are more modern than single-strand necklaces or wristwatches! I love my chain bracelet collection, but sometimes I make mistakes that can ruin the whole look. Here’s some advice on how to avoid three common faux pas when shopping for your own collection of chain bracelets!

Keeping the paperclip in the box.

• Don’t lose the paperclip. This might sound like common sense, but it’s not always easy to remember. You have your bracelet in a box and you’re ready to put it on, but where did that little piece of metal go? It was there just a minute ago. Where did you put it?
• Do keep the paperclip in its box. The paperclip is there for a reason: to keep your bracelet from getting tangled up with other bracelets and snagged on clothing or furniture. If you take out what’s meant to be keeping your bracelet tidy (and then lose it), then now that same piece of metal could be causing tangles and snags all over the place—or worse yet, get caught somewhere dangerous like underfoot while walking down stairs!

Wearing them without a watch or with a delicate watch.

Wearing a chain bracelet without a watch is a big mistake. Chain bracelets can scratch the back of your fancy watches, making them look cheaper than they are.

Wearing a delicate watch with your chain bracelet makes it look bulky and cheap. A delicate watch should be worn with simple, thin bracelets that compliment its style.

Wearing them all on one wrist.

You can wear your chain bracelets all on one wrist, but it will look better if you wear them on both wrists. You can also wear them on both wrists, but it will look better if you wear them on one wrist and make sure to have a watch on the other wrist.

Missing out on stacking bracelets.

Stacking bracelets is a fun way to accessorize, because you can wear a bunch of your favorite bracelets at once. Like this one! And this one! And this one!

It’s also an easy way to make a statement, as long as you remember that the key to stacking bracelets is balance. For example, if you’re going for more of an “I am not afraid” vibe with your bling, choose shorter chains or thinner bangles and stick to simple styles—nothing too ornate or overly embellished. If you want to go the other way and feel like royalty (and who doesn’t?), try layering several thin gold bangles with an elaborate pendant cuff—you’ll look like Cleopatra herself (and probably smell quite nice).

Thinking I could only wear them with a watch.

It was only a matter of time before I realized that you can wear your chain bracelets with anything and everything. You don’t have to wear them on the same wrist as your watch, or even on the same arm if you don’t want to! You can mix metals and styles and lengths in whatever way feels right for you. You could even wear one with heels and go out to dinner at a fancy restaurant!

I’m not saying this is something everyone should do (although I do recommend it), but it’s certainly worth experimenting with if you’re feeling bold.

With all the fun ways you can wear these bracelets, don’t miss out on trying new things!

The best way to learn how to wear a bracelet is by trying new things and seeing what works. You can:

• Wear a watch with it.
• Stack bracelets with other bracelets, like this.
• Wear all of the bracelets on one wrist or split between both wrists, depending on what you’re wearing that day!

It’s also fun to experiment with matching your jewelry with different outfits for more options. If you have an outfit where you want to be casual but still look put together, try wearing one or two of the chain bracelets along with jeans and boots like these ones here [insert link]. This can also work well when going out at night too since they are still noticeable enough without being too over-the-top flashy while still adding some sparkle into whatever outfit they go along with perfectly.”
