Advice and Links to Help You Find all Sorts of Bracelets

By , About.com Guide

If you're looking for a bracelet, these links will help you find one. You'll find a little bit of everything here, from chain bracelets to charm bracelets to bracelets set with diamonds and other gemstones. Prices vary, too, but the majority of the bracelets you'll find at each link destination are affordable.

1. Turquoise Bracelets

Turquoise can be put in the "trendy" class of jewelry, but traditional turquoise bracelets never truly go "out" of style. You'll find a variety of looks in this collection, from vintage to contemporary.

2. Wooden Bangles

Don't hesitate to mix your wooden bangles with bracelets made from other materials. Try them on in groups and switch the groupings around until you create a look you love.

3. Animal Print Bracelets and Bangles

Animal prints are showing up in every corner of the world of fashion, and you'll find animal print bracelets made from a variety of materials. The resin versions, while not realistic, are usually subdued and can be worn with a huge variety of ensembles.

4. Woven and Link Bracelets

Plain circles and other geometric shapes can be woven or linked together to create bracelets with lots of texture. Slip on any bracelet in this collection if you're looking for attractive jewelry that adds style to your wrist without overpowering your ensemble. Most of these bracelets can easily go from casual to dressy.

5. Mixed Metals - Precious Metal Bracelets

A combination of white and yellow metals makes these mixed metal bracelets and bangles work for everyone, no matter what their metal color preferences are. You'll love the versatility of these pretty dual and tri-color bracelets fashioned in sterling silver and multiple colors of gold.

6. Sterling Silver Bracelets

Sterling silver bracelets are versatile, and oh-so affordable. Wear plain sterling silver when you want to go basic, or dress it up with pearls or other gemstones for a dressier look. I really shouldn't use the word plain to describe jewelry that's fashioned strictly from sterling -- classic is a better choice, because even a simple sterling band can be elegant. All of these sterling bracelets are sorted by price range. If your budget has constraints, stay away from the more expensive categories -- you don't need to go there to find a nice bracelet.

7. Traditional Charm Bracelets

Charm bracelets are one piece of jewelry that never truly goes out of style, and right now they are as popular as they've ever been. Like some of my other selections, this collection of traditional charm bracelets is sorted into price categories to make it easier for you to find what you're looking for. Choose your price range and start browsing -- you'll find the perfect charm bracelet in no time.

8. Italian Charm Bracelets

Italian charm bracelets are popular, and it's no wonder. There are charms for every hobby or interest, and it's easy to snap off a charm link and replace it with something entirely different to suit your mood. Traditional Italian charms are made from stainless steel and 18K gold, but you'll find others made with different components. Read the fine print to help you decide which charms are the best bet.

9. Colored Gemstone Bracelets

Are you looking for a gemstone bracelet? Use these bracelet groupings to compare the prices of bracelets -- just choose your favorite colored gem and see what's available. There's a gemstone bracelet here to suit every taste and every budget.

10. Pastel Pearl Bracelets

I love that today's pearl jewelry isn't at all boring. Don't misunderstand -- I admire the classic look of a single strand of pearls, but there are lots of other pearl options to select from. You'll find every color of pearl imaginable, from soft pastels to pearls in vividly colored hues. And although expensive pearls are not hard to find, you'll find just as many inexpensive pearls when you shop for jewelry.
