Metal beaded bracelets without stones
Want a calm base? Then choose a beaded bracelet with metal beads only. Our timeless basics collection has existed since 2016 and comes in bead sizes from 2 to 10 mm. These bracelets go with everything and form the foundation of a beautiful stack.
Bangles and tennis bracelets
A bangle is a sturdy, round metal bracelet. It keeps its shape and slides easily over your hand. A tennis bracelet is the opposite: very flexible, with a continuous row of set stones that catch the light with every move. Ours have white or coloured zirconia, set in 925 sterling silver.
What are our bracelets made of?
The material decides how long your bracelet stays beautiful. That is why we are open about it. You choose most bracelets in Gold Plated (gold colour) or Rhodium Plated (silver colour). Always check the specifications on the product page for the exact base material.
- Gold coloured beaded bracelets: gold filled with a gold plated finish
- Tennis bracelets: 925 sterling silver with white or coloured zirconia
- Bead sizes: 3, 4 and 6 mm with stone, 2 to 10 mm in metal
- Length of stretch bracelets: 18 cm, bangles in S, M and L
What is gold filled?
Gold filled is a thick layer of gold alloy bonded to a core with pressure and heat. This layer is much thicker than normal gold plating. That makes it more durable, so your bracelet keeps its warm shine for longer. Note: gold filled is not solid gold, but it is a durable choice for everyday wear.
What do 925 silver and rhodium mean?
925 sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metal, mostly copper. The copper makes the silver stronger. Rhodium is a precious metal from the platinum group. A layer of rhodium gives silver a bright, cool shine and slows down tarnish. So your silver coloured bracelet stays fresh for longer.
Gemstone bracelet: which stone do you choose?
Most stones in our bracelets are natural semiprecious stones. The product page shows the type of each stone. Natural stone has its own pattern. Inclusions and colour differences are normal. So your bracelet may look slightly different from the photo, and that is exactly what makes it unique.
Popular stones and their colours
Do you love calm shades? Then choose Smoky Quartz, Onyx or Labradorite. Labradorite has a grey base with a blue flash that shifts in the light. For soft colour, Rose Quartz, Pink Opalite and Milky Blue Jade are favourites. Want more colour? Ruby Quartz, Sodalite and Ocean Topaz Quartz stand out. There are also bracelets with pearls and mixes of several stones in one bracelet.
Hydro Quartz and seasonal colours
Sometimes we use Hydro Quartz. This is natural crystal that gets its colour through heating. If a seasonal colour calls for a shade that nature does not offer, we now and then choose a synthetic stone. This is always stated honestly in the specifications.
What is the meaning of gemstone bracelets?
According to old traditions, every stone has its own meaning. In that lore, Rose Quartz stands for love, Onyx for strength and Labradorite for protection. These meanings are not scientifically proven. Still, many people like to choose a stone with a story, for example as a gift. We choose stones mainly for colour, shine and craftsmanship.
Which bracelet size fits you?
Measure your wrist and add 1 to 1.5 cm: that is your ideal bracelet length. Place a tape measure or a strip of paper just above your wrist bone. If the bracelet is too tight, it pinches. If it is too loose, it slides over your hand.
Slim or wide wrist?
Our 18 cm stretch bracelets fit most wrists. Do you have a slim wrist? Customers with a fine wrist often tell us that 4 mm beads look better than big beads. A 6 mm bead gives more body to a wider wrist. For bangles and tennis bracelets, you choose size S, M or L yourself. A tennis bracelet in size S measures 16.5 cm.
How do you stack bracelets beautifully?
A great arm party starts with a calm base and ends with a pop of colour. That is exactly the idea behind Mix & Match. You combine our jewellery pieces with each other, so everything fits together.
Mix & Match in two steps
Step one: choose a metal beaded bracelet without stones as your base. Step two: add one or two gemstone bracelets in a colour that suits your outfit. Then feel free to alternate between a fine 3 mm bead and a larger 6 mm bead. That difference in size makes your stack lively.
Gold and silver together?
Yes, you can. A mixed stack of gold colour and silver colour looks modern and playful. Just keep one colour dominant so the look stays calm. A bangle or tennis bracelet works well as an eye catcher between the beads. In the Mix & Match Studio you can also design your own jewellery.
Which bracelets are in fashion right now?
Stacked beaded bracelets in soft natural shades are fully back. You also see a lot of tennis bracelets with coloured zirconia and sleek bangles. The trend is clear: combine fine pieces with one bold piece. That way you wear your bracelets every day, even to the office.
A bracelet as a gift
A bracelet is a safe and personal gift, because it almost always fits. The 18 cm stretch beaded bracelet fits most wrists. Pick a stone in her favourite colour or a calm base that goes with everything. Not sure about the size? Then go for a stretch style.
Every order arrives beautifully wrapped. Customers often call the packaging a gift in itself. Does it not fit after all? You have 14 days to return unworn jewellery with the original labels.
How to keep your bracelet beautiful
Good care is simple: take your jewellery off for water, sweat and sleep. Remove your bracelet when you shower, swim, exercise and sleep. Apply perfume and body lotion first and only then put on your jewellery. That keeps these products away from the metal and the stones.
Never stretch an elastic beaded bracelet hard. Roll it onto your wrist so the elastic stays strong. Store each bracelet separately so stones and metal do not rub against each other. Polish with a dry, soft cloth and avoid harsh products.

Frequently asked questions about bracelets
What is the ideal length for a bracelet?
The ideal length is your wrist size plus 1 to 1.5 cm. Measure just above your wrist bone. Our stretch bracelets are 18 cm and fit most wrists.
Are the gemstones real?
Most stones are natural semiprecious stones. The product page shows the type of stone for each bracelet. Natural stone has inclusions and colour differences, so every bracelet is slightly different.
Can I wear my bracelet in the shower?
No, it is better to take it off. Water, soap and sweat weaken the elastic and wear down the shine of the metal faster. Also remove it when you swim, exercise and sleep.
Are the gold bracelets solid gold?
No, our gold coloured bracelets are not solid gold. The gold coloured beaded bracelets are gold filled with a gold plated finish. Tennis bracelets have a gold plated finish on 925 sterling silver.
On which arm do you wear a gemstone bracelet?
That is completely up to you. Many women wear their bracelets on the arm without a watch, so the stack is easy to see. According to old traditions each arm has its own meaning, but this is not scientifically proven.
How quickly will I receive my bracelet?
Order on a working day before 15:00 and we ship the same day. This applies to all bracelets in this collection. International shipping is free from €100.
What warranty do I get on a bracelet?
You get a lifetime warranty on all silver and gold beads. On top of that, there is a 2 year warranty on manufacturing defects and 6 months on the plating.
