{"title":"Bangles \u0026 Cuffs — Sterling Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery bangle and cuff in solid .925 sterling silver — hinged, slip-on, cuff and flexible, in one place. Use the sub-collections below to narrow by how the bangle goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe bangle family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bangle is a rigid circle rather than a flexible chain, and that single difference changes how it wears: it turns on the wrist, catches light from every angle as it moves, and stacks with others in a way a chain bracelet never does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe family splits by how it goes on. A \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hinged-bangles-14k-yellow-gold\"\u003ehinged bangle\u003c\/a\u003e opens and closes with a clasp. A \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/slip-on-bangles-sterling-silver\"\u003eslip-on\u003c\/a\u003e is a closed circle that passes over the hand. A \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cuff-bracelets-sterling-silver\"\u003ecuff\u003c\/a\u003e is open at the back and goes on sideways. A \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flexible-bangles-sterling-silver\"\u003eflexible bangle\u003c\/a\u003e gives a little as it passes the hand, then holds its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGetting the size right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anything that has to pass over the hand, measure your hand at its widest with the thumb tucked into the palm, then divide by 3.14 for the inner diameter. For a hinged bangle, measure the wrist instead. Sizes are on each product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid .925 sterling silver — 92.5% pure silver with copper added for strength, stamped .925, never a plated or silver-tone base metal. Some pieces carry a rhodium finish, which slows tarnish; the silver underneath is unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver tarnishes in air and it reverses — a polishing cloth lifts it in seconds, and a piece worn often tarnishes far less than one left in a box. For a textured or woven surface, a soft toothbrush with warm water and a drop of dish soap reaches what a cloth cannot. Dry fully and store in a closed pouch. Off before a chlorinated pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee also \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bangles-cuffs-14k-yellow-gold\"\u003ebangles \u0026amp; cuffs in 14k yellow gold\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bangles-cuffs-stainless-steel\"\u003ebangles \u0026amp; cuffs in stainless steel\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bangles-cuffs-14k-white-gold\"\u003ebangles \u0026amp; cuffs in 14k white gold\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bracelets\"\u003eall bracelets and anklets\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/jewelryshopping.com\/collections\/bangles-sterling-silver.oembed","provider":"Jewelryshopping.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
