How to choose a gold bracelet: size, style and stacking

How to measure your wrist

1. Wrap a tape measure or a narrow strip of paper around your wrist, just above the wrist bone. That's where your bracelet sits.
2. Don't pull it tight: it should feel the way a bracelet would.
3. Mark where the strip meets and measure the length in centimetres.
4. Add 1 cm for a bracelet that sits close to your wrist, or 2 cm for a little more room.

No tape measure to hand? Measure a bracelet you love wearing, from the end of the clasp to the last ring.

Which length should you choose?

Many of our bracelets adjust from 16.5 to 18.5 cm with the small rings at the clasp. So you can wear them closer to your wrist or a little looser. Others have a fixed length, which you'll find in the specifications. Everything about sizes is in our bracelet size guide.

Close or loose? A fine chain bracelet can have a little room and moves beautifully with you. A bracelet with a heart, letter or stone is better worn a touch closer, so the front stays on top.

Bangle, chain or tennis?

Chain bracelet

A chain bracelet is supple, light and easy to combine. You can often adjust it yourself, which makes it the most forgiving style if you're unsure of your size. From figaro to rope: in types of gold chains you'll see what each chain does.

Bangle

A bangle is a rigid, round bracelet that sits more loosely on your wrist and slides a little. Clean and graphic, on its own or stacked. Because a bangle doesn't bend, the inside measurement matters: you'll find it in the specifications of each design. Some bangles close with a hinge, so you don't have to slide them over your hand.

Tennis bracelet

A row of stones all the way round, sparkling with every move. At TOV you choose natural diamonds, always F-G colour and SI clarity, or cubic zirconia: made in the lab, so no mining, and precisely cut. Don't wear a tennis bracelet too loose, so the stones stay on top.

Combining: with each other and with your watch

• Two or three together. A chain, a bangle and a bracelet with a detail, like a heart or a letter. Three different shapes, one gold colour.
• One star. A tennis bracelet or a bracelet with a pendant is the eye-catcher. The rest stays plain.
• With your watch. Calm? Wear your bracelets on your other wrist. Together? Choose a supple chain and slide it next to your watch. Gold is softer than the steel of most watches, so where they tap against each other, tiny scratches appear.
• With your necklace. The same chain around your neck and your wrist instantly feels like a set.

All our bracelets are real gold, nickel-free and suitable for sensitive skin.
