{"title":"Slip-On Bangles — Sterling Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eSlip-on bangles have no clasp and no hinge. They are a closed circle that passes over the hand. These are in solid .925 sterling silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy slip-on\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn unbroken circle of metal with nothing to fail: no hinge to wear, no clasp to spring open, no catch to snag a sleeve. It is the oldest form of bangle and the strongest. Slip-ons also stack well, which is how most people wear them — two or three together, often mixing metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGetting the size right — measure your hand, not your wrist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the one thing people get wrong. A slip-on has to clear your knuckles, so the measurement that matters is your hand at its widest, not your wrist. Tuck your thumb into your palm as though you were putting the bangle on, wrap a tape around the widest part, and divide by 3.14 for the inner diameter you need. If you size to your wrist it will not go on. If you are between sizes, go up — a bangle that will not pass the hand is useless, a slightly loose one just sits lower.\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\/cuff-bracelets-sterling-silver\"\u003ecuff bracelets in sterling silver\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hinged-bangles-14k-yellow-gold\"\u003ehinged bangles in 14k yellow gold\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bangles-sterling-silver\"\u003ebangles in sterling silver\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cuff-bracelets-stainless-steel\"\u003ecuff bracelets in stainless steel\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flexible-bangles-sterling-silver\"\u003eflexible bangles in sterling silver\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bracelets\"\u003eall bracelets and anklets\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/jewelryshopping.com\/collections\/slip-on-bangles-sterling-silver.oembed","provider":"Jewelryshopping.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
