Bracelets! Bracelets are so much more diverse than you'd imagine. Well, some of you. So yeah, let's do something other than brood and eat ice cream. #JewelWatch

First? The bangle. Thin/narrow, circular, and often worn in multiples. No bending allowed.

Wait, am I naming jewelers on this? Bottom row up there is Koulis, left, and Amrapali right.

The chain bracelet, which is just what it says. I don't have many of those because they bore me, except for a few with center-pieces.

Verdura, Ippolita, antique moonstone and sapphire, Leane.

The relative, the charm bracelet, is a chain that has small meaningful charms you generally buy individually to celebrate landmark events, and put together.

Pelham, charity group project, I think Jewelry Theatre but I didn't keep track, Cartier.

The other relative, the tennis bracelet because it supposedly started with some tennis player (tell me in the comments) but they go back to the 1800s at least. Stones chained together.

Antique Cartier, antique camphor glass and sapphire, Bulgari, antique Cartier again.

We're gonna just visit here a while 'cause we all like jewelry and I have pictures of bracelets for days.

Varney, Roule (kinda fits the description, ish), Crevoshay ish, Stenzhorn.

The cuff bracelet.

We're gonna be here a while.

Just what it sounds like, it's rigid, wide, and has an opening to slip your wrist through.

The classic style: Verdura, Piaget, Buccellati, Spiro.

More, because bracelets, and we can:

Piaget, Miseno, Fahmy, Yue.

The bar bracelet, which started as a chain with a name plate on it but has evolved significantly.

Atelier Munsteiner, Amrapali, Jorge, Chaumet.

The beaded bracelet, which I may have one of...? They're kinda boring.

Random jewelers, and the enameled jackets are done by Ekatarina Kostragina.

Corded bracelets are a thing now, and mostly lower end and not rolling around my faves folder, you know, the ones made out of jump cord and so forth. I have a few, I think, or in the spirit of.

Shamballa, Josef, Bicakci (a watch, but super awesome), Amrapali.

"Crystal" bracelets, which. Yeah. You can get them with raw stones. Not sure I've got any of that in bracelet form...

Uncut tanzanite cufflinks, Runsdorf, Coomi with polished but uncut stones. Bottom one is blue diamonds.

Filigree - a lot of these categories overlap - which is openwork, often with wire but not always.

Always pretty. Made possible by modern alloys and platinum.

Kovadi (copper based on lace), Arne, Hume, Veyret.

We are now taking an ice cream break!

Friendship bracelets are mentioned here, and those are pretty much anything you consider meaningful.

My friends are welcome to buy me any of these:

Annoushka, Carnet, Ruchi, Feng J.

The "open bangle" is about what it sounds like, thin and narrow like a bangle, but with a break in it either for aesthetics or to slip your wrist through like a cuff.

NUUN, Tasaki, Katz, Nour. Last one's in anodized titanium.

The watch bracelet, which is what it says on the tin.

Bulgari, Chaumet, Chopard, Piaget (the watch face is under the amethyst).

The articulated bracelet is kind of a catch-all for a lot of high-end bracelets that are wide bands of stones. One of my favorites, so kick back and enjoy.

Boghossian, Chopard, Paspalay, Yael.

Ilgiz F, Reza, Syz, Carnet.

Hueb, Rucci, Yue, Runsdorf.

And the last couple I can't find names for, the first one I call the curlicue, which is just what it sounds like:

Chopard, Boghossian, Angri,

Oops, last red one is NUUN. Both the curled flowers covert to brooches and pendants.

The last type is what's being called a "hand bracelet" these days.

Colette, Gaydamak, Yue, Orcini.

Yue (she likes these), Boschi (I love the fish), Yue again, and Chopard.

Some stuff I missed:

Kostrigina, Seijo, Syz, Boucheron.

Boghossian, Borzaya hand bracelet with enamel, Yoko London, Cartier.

Chao, Ichien, Vieri, Hemmerle.

Muguet (I KNOW, RIGHT?), Salini (that's carbon fiber and peridot), Verdura, Boucheron (rock crystal coated in industrial reflective coating used on runway lights).

NUUN (rose quarz and diamonds), Cartier tutti-fruitti in pink and purple instead of garish, Harrari blackened gold with diamonds, Chopard anodized titanium.

Hemmerle iron and diamonds, Nour, Chopard EVERYTHING, Boghossian emeralds.

Syz, Messika, uh, someone, and Fenterstock.

Antique, Tiffany, Yurman, Mouzanar.

And in closing,

Next time we'll do earrings or necklaces, let me know your ideas. Hair pieces? Tiaras?

DeGrisigono, Hu, SICIS glass mosaic with diamonds, Heymann.
