Silver Bracelets

How you tie a bracelet depends on the type: Adjustable cord bracelets usually have a sliding knot—just pull the ends to tighten or loosen. Friendship or string bracelets can be tied with a simple double knot and secured with a bow. For bracelets without clasps, ask someone to help tie it snugly on your wrist. Make sure the knot is secure but not too tight, to avoid cutting off circulation.

A tennis bracelet is a thin, flexible bracelet set with a continuous line of diamonds or gemstones, usually mounted in a four-prong setting. It's known for its classic, elegant look and secure clasp. The name became popular after tennis star Chris Evert famously lost her diamond bracelet mid-match in the 1987 U.S. Open.

Making a bracelet depends on the style: Beaded bracelets: Use elastic cord and thread beads through, then tie a secure knot. Friendship bracelets: Use embroidery floss or string and weave with knotting techniques. Metal or wire bracelets: Require tools like pliers to bend, connect, and secure components. Bracelet making kits or tutorials online are a great place to start if you're new to jewelry DIY.

To layer bracelets stylishly: Mix textures and widths – combine beaded, chain, cuff, and cord styles. Stick to a color palette – keep metals or tones cohesive for a polished look. Balance bulk and minimalism – pair chunkier pieces with delicate ones. Start with 2–3 bracelets and build from there, adjusting spacing to avoid clutter. Layering is all about expressing your personal style—there are no strict rules!
