Gold Bracelet Styles
A gold bracelet is typically a solid band usually in the form of a non-enclosed circle for easy placement. The gold bracelet is typically placed around the wrist or ankle. Size and thickness of gold bracelets vary with the individual design.
Gold Bangles
Gold bangles are similar to gold bracelets, except they are usually full loops of gold. Bangles are almost always loose fitting and put into place by squeezing over an extended hand. Usually bangles hang loosely and are worn in multiple groups so that they jangle slightly attracting attention as the wrist moves.
Gold Identity Bracelet
An identity bracelet is typically engraved with information about the owner. These may be in the form of a bracelet or a necklace. An identity bracelet is often constructed as an additional piece attached to a linked chain, although they can take many forms. Identity bracelets are often referred to as “dog tags” borrowing from military terminology used to identify soldiers.
Ouroboros-Oroborus-Uroboros
This is a bracelet designed to resemble a snake swallowing its tail. It is an ancient symbol of the cosmos and is frequently depicted in both gold and other jewelry designs. This is also sometimes referred to as a snake bracelet.
Belcher Chain
This is a varied style of chain usually featuring links which are composed of belcher links, which are oval shaped. There are many historical interpretations of the Belcher chain but characteristics typically include a long chain, often with a triangular, d-shaped link, or oval ring suitable for the attachment of additional jewelry or chains. Gold belcher chains have mysterious origins and were possibly first used by nomads or gypsies who required a suitable way to carry their portable wealth.
Gold Curb Chain
A curb chain is defined by the nature of the interlocking links on the chain. Frequently these are fairly heavy and have a somewhat rounded appearance. The interlocking links provide a sense of continuity and flow throughout the design. Gold curb chains may often be worn as a set, with overlapping chains creating a unique effect.
Figaro Bracelets
This type of bracelet is characterized by sets of links connected at specific intervals by longer designed links to create a look of changing pace and tone. Figaro bracelet and necklace styles typically use two types of links, smaller links grouped in bunches of a specific number and individual longer connecting links. The connecting links may have one or more strands of shaped gold in their design.
Heavy Gold Chains
This type of chain is characterized more by the sturdiness and size of the links than the pattern. Heavy gold chains are typically strong and composed of heavy links designed to support other valuable pieces of jewelry or to compactly carry and display significant gold resources.
Gold Charm Bracelets
A charm bracelet is a bracelet or bangle, typically loose fitting, that has gold loops designed to hold other smaller accessory pieces, or charms. The charms selected are often symbolic in nature and are typically each unique pieces, rather than repetitions of the same accessory.
Pendant Chains
A pendant chain is a chain specifically designed for carrying a pendant. In most cases the pendant chain has a loop designed for holding the accessory although in some cases the pendant chain is actually sans loop and the loop is built into the accessory instead.
Fine Jewelry Accessories
Gold chains and bracelets are often accompanied by fine jewelry accessories. These are most commonly found on charm bracelets, heavy gold chains, identity bracelets and belcher chains.
Accessories are usually found in the form of pendants, lockets, or attachable and interchangeable pieces of jewelry. Accessories may be sold as part of the ensemble or selected separately depending on the design of the individual pieces.
