     Tennis Style Bracelets: with gemstones. They usually contain 10 or more gemstones with sterling silver spacers and a sterling silver lobster clasp. They contain both a lot of silver content and many gemstones, that's one of the reasons they cost a lot more then most bracelets. Most Tennis Gemstone bracelets will start out at $199.00 and you rarely find them on sale like other jewelry for 70% off. They are a very elegant bracelet with a brilliant shine and beautiful color.

 

   Charm Bracelets: they are a particular favorite of mine and a lot of other women and little girls. For several different reasons, we like to keep our memories and special times in our lives, and nowdays you can find so many cute charms. A good charm bracelet is made from a sturdy chain link bracelet, esspecially if you plan to put a lot of charms on it. They can last a lifetime if taken care of properly. These are worn several different ways. As a charm bracelet for memories and special times, or a single heart which is very popular right now dangling from a brillant chain link bracelet. Or a cluster of several charms put together dangling from a chain link

     Fence link: Fence like link chain bracelets are unique and very modern. They resemble a fence in the links that are wider yet still flexible like the chain link, but more solid like a bangle bracelet.  They have the same brillance, color and shine that the chain link bracelets have.

     Round Solid Chain Link Bracelets: Solid round chain link bracelets are filled in solid links that bend just like a chain link. They are a lot heavier and have a higher content of silver in them. But they also are more solid like the bangle bracelet but have more brillance, shine and color just like the chain link bracelets.

     Slim Serpent Bracelets: These bracelets are really nice for a slim fitting bracelet. You can add charms or pendants to dangle off the bracelet. Or you can wear them plain or several together. They have the brillance, shine and flexibility. A good serpent bracelet won't kink easily.

Shell Bracelets

This is an example of a shell bracelet. There are many different kinds of shells and shell bracelets. You can buy them in a variety of colors and sizes. The sea shells that are more realistic looking comes in a variety or variegated tans and whites. Most of the sea shell bracelets are elastic, but some are cords that are tied on.

 

     Cr. Cat's Eye Bracelets:  These are one of my favorites, I love the smoothness of the stone and the beautiful colors they come in. They come in soft pastel shades and warm brown and smooth white. The brillance of the silver complement the smooth look of the stone. They have a beautiful, elegant look. You can find Cat's Eye bracelets in alot of different shaped Cat's Eye beads, they have square which are a little harder to find. The round beads are the most common and come in a large variety of sizes. You can also find these beads in shapes like crosses, hearts, animals or flowers.

     Bangle Bracelets: New bangle bracelets are shapes connected to make a solid bangle, like circles, hearts, diamonds. They can be narrow and slim, 1/2 wide or very very wide cuff bangles. Some are solid and some are like I said links of circles, diamonds and hearts. They shine but they usually do not have the brilliance of the chain link bracelets. They still make a very attractive pretty bracelet. You can also find alot of these in the Tibetan silver. They are usually prayer or luck bracelets and are very detailed and antique finished. You can find them in plain tibetan silver, but they are harder to find.

     Sterling Silver 925 Bracelets seem a little higher in price for everyday but well worth the investment. They range around $40.00, and are hard to find for much less even when buying wholesale. Even fashion bracelets costing $20.00-$30.00 that do not contain silver or gold or real gemstones cost almost that.

     A lot of the chain link bracelets are made in Italy. They have the same silver standards and they do have the same brillance and shine.

Silver solid 925 sterling silver hoops 1/2" are very good sellers here on Ebay. Of course a good quality pair of sterling silver 925 hoops are a good buy anywhere. Almost every woman owns a pair of some kind of silver hoops.

These bracelets are made in the Memory wrap wire but have real genuine gemstone beads in garnets or in amethysts. They have sterling silver spacer beads and end bead caps at both ends of the bracelet. The handmade memory wrap bracelets are often made with 925 sterling silver beads too. You can find a wide variety of sterling silver beads and spacers and fasteners here on Ebay.

Wrap Memory Bracelets

Here are examples of handmade Sterling Silver beaded bracelets made with Swarvoski Austrian Crystal beads. They are called Memory Wrap Bracelets, because the are made using memory wire which always goes back to the bracelet shape. I like these bracelets because they eliminate having to fasten the catches on regular bracelets. I have a lot of trouble with catches and fastening them myself and I like the smaller size bracelets because the bigger ones I catch on everything and break them. The memory wrap bracelets go on instantly and stay together just like a regular bracelet.

     Remember when cleaning Sterling Silver do not use abrasive cleaners a soft polish and a soft cloth and your silver will last a lifetime.
