Gold Bracelets

Gold bracelets here run the whole ladder

Chains built in 14k gold filled

The figaro runs at a 2.5mm gauge with a toggle closure. There is a rounded box chain, an elongated curb with a toggle, and a paperclip that sits flat against the wrist. These are the pieces that go on in the morning and stay on, and they are the ones most stacks get built around because a plain chain gives everything else something to sit beside.

Solid 14k gold set with diamonds

The toggle carries 1/10 carat of natural diamonds worked into the bar itself. The constellation bar runs 1/3 carat, the open cuff holds .57 carats of pear shaped stones, and the tennis bracelet comes at 2, 3 or 5 carats in 1.9mm and 3.1mm widths. Beaded strands in lapis, watermelon tourmaline, Peruvian opal and freshwater pearl bring color into the same stack.

Getting the fit right on a gold bracelet

Measure the wrist, then add for drape

Wrap a soft tape or a strip of paper around your wrist bone and note the number. Add half an inch for a bracelet that moves and sits low on the hand, or a quarter inch for one that stays close. The tennis bracelet is built at 7.25 inches and the mariner at 7.5, both of which land with the drape that makes a piece look considered.

Toggles and adjustable lengths

Several chains close with a toggle, which goes on in one motion and lets you wear the bar sitting forward on the wrist where it shows. The constellation bar adjusts between 6 and 7 inches and the marquise between 6.5 and 7.5. That range covers most wrists, so the same bracelet works worn close on its own or looser inside a stack.

How Camille specifies these gold bracelets

Every listing states its construction plainly, solid 14k gold, 14k gold filled, or 18k gold vermeil, with no piece described in a way that lets one be mistaken for another. Diamonds are named natural or lab grown, and colored stones are specified by name rather than called gemstone. The gold filled here is real 14k gold bonded to the core, which is what lets a chain hold its color through years of daily wear. The Mama nameplate is assembled to order in yellow, white or rose gold. Twenty years designing inside New York luxury fashion sits behind the proportions, and every piece is built to be worn rather than kept in a box.

Wearing gold bracelets with what you own

A stack reads best when the pieces arrived at different times, which is why a gold filled chain sits so easily beside solid gold and a watch. Start with one chain, add a beaded strand for color, and let a diamond piece arrive when it arrives. The jewelry wardrobe guide covers the order most collections get built in. The full bracelets collection carries the silver and everyday styles, fine jewelry bracelets holds the solid gold tier, gold filled jewelry holds the everyday tier, and fine jewelry matches the tone across categories.
