Silver Bracelets: The Perfect Gift for Any Occasion

Looking for the perfect gift for a close friend? A relative? Your girlfriend? Even for yourself? Don’t overlook silver bracelets, which are increasingly becoming the “it” gift for all sorts of purposes and occasions.



Here are some ideas to bring you up to date:

Silver bracelets for engagement: Silver bracelets are growing in popularity as an engagement gift, a unique and uncommon expression of a groom’s love for his future bride. Sterling silver bracelets with a hint of carbon fiber, enduring leather, or goldfill are all fashionable choices for an item of engagement jewellery. As they are circular like rings, silver bracelets also reflect the unbroken commitment and love that marriage is meant to bring. Some couples are even finding that “his and hers” silver bracelets, exchanged on engagement, are a wonderful expression of mutual commitment.

Silver bracelets for bridesmaids: Many brides seek a practical way of showing their bridesmaids and the members of their bridal party how much they’ve appreciated their love and support. What better choice to fit the bill than affordable, fashionable, lovely silver bracelets? Not only do silver bracelets make the perfect bridal party gift, but they also serve the dual purpose of being a uniform jewellery accessory for the bridesmaids on the wedding day. Silver bracelets with pearls or a gemstone to match the bridesmaids’ dresses make a wonderful accessory to bridal attire. Moreover, silver bracelets can be personalized – with the date of the wedding or the couple’s monogram, or a simple message of thanks – thereby serving as a lovely memento.

Silver bracelets for the bride herself: Silver bracelets - one or many, monogrammed or not, shiny or matte - make a lovely gift for any bride, and can be worn down the aisle, and thereafter. Silver bracelets with pearls or zircons are particularly appropriate in this case.  

Silver bracelets for a milestone: Silver bracelets make wonderful milestone gifts - especially if engraved with a notation relevant to the milestone.  Silver bracelets can be studded with gemstones of meaning: the recipient’s birthstone, to commemorate a birthday; the gemstone signifying an anniversary; or even gemstones in the recipient’s school colours, to celebrate her graduation.  

Silver bracelets for a formal: The perfect gift for a young girl attending her first prom, or a lady attending a formal event, is a silver bracelet with the regal, shimmering white zircon. White zircons, when set in a silver bracelet, are the ultimate accessory with any formal gown or cocktail dress. For something a bit more unusual but no less appropriate, choose a silver bracelet with onyx. Or, if you know the colour of her formal dress, get her a silver bracelet with gemstones that match or complement that colour.

Silver bracelets given in everlasting friendship: Silver bracelets have been, and remain, a fashionable way for friends to express their friendship, and stay connected. Silver bracelets given in friendship can be engraved with the friends’ names or initials, or with the phrase “best friends forever (or, in today’s text-message world, “BFF”). Silver bracelets with gemstones you both love, or whose energetic properties you appreciate, also make a lovely expression of friendship. 

Treasured wherever you go, and long after the event that prompted their giving, silver bracelets are the ultimate fashion gift!
