Bracelets are one of the most all round wardrobe accessories, adding style and panache to the way you look, and offering a perfect opportunity to bring out your personality.

How do you style gold bracelets?

When buying gold bracelets, look for those styles that add a playful flair to everyday outfits or seamless elegance to an evening look. Once you’ve made your choice, think about mixing and matching them with other bracelet styles such as beads, corals, and pearls. Pay attention to your outfit, ensure your gold bracelet complements it. And remember, there are times when you just need to flaunt it.

What can you wear with gold bracelets?

When choosing a gold bracelet for that special outfit, think about the occasion. Casual or more formal? If you're going out with your girlfriends, you can experiment with color and fun styles. This might mean gold chains with sparkly crystals or chunky charms worn with a luxurious cashmere t-shirt or playful summer outfit. In a professional situation, on the other hand, thinner, more delicate gold chains or smaller charms are likely to work better when paired with a smart suit or dress.

Why are gold bracelets a wardrobe essential?

Gold bracelets remain a wardrobe essential, with the first use of gold to create jewelry dating back to 4000 B.C.

There are several reasons why gold jewelry, specifically bracelets, have stood the test of time. While gold is softer than other metals, it is resistant to tarnishing and rusting, allowing it to withstand the test of time. Because of its durability, ancient civilizations adorned their royalty in gold, with accomplished kings and warriors being buried with their jewels.

Today, this jewelry is less elitist and a more attainable luxury product that women and men worldwide still wear. It’s remained popular for a few reasons:

Durability - Even though it’s a softer metal, gold can withstand time and weather, making it a great everyday piece of jewelry. The higher the karat gold the jewelry is, the tougher it is. That’s why all of our Italeau bracelets are 18K gold - one of the most durable options available.

Holds its value - Gold bracelets are a long-term investment thanks to their value. While the price can fluctuate in the short term, over decades, gold has been a popular commodity to invest in. In several countries, including Italy, Greece, Japan and the U.S., gold was used as an economic monetary system known as the gold standard.

A statement piece - A unique gold bracelet like the ones we make at Italeau is a statement piece meant to catch the attention of others thanks to its beauty. We pride ourselves on our gold bracelets being a conversation starter.

Has sentimental value - As a popular gift choice, many pieces of gold jewelry can hold sentimental value. Whether it’s been passed down through generations or received during a special time in life, gold bracelets can have special meaning to the wearer.

Gold bracelets have symbolized power and glory for centuries, with many civilizations considering gold as good luck charms. Adding a gold bracelet to your wardrobe is more than just a fashion accessory - it’s a symbol of luxury and taste.

How to care for & clean your gold bracelets

If you’ve been wearing your gold bracelet frequently, it’s important to care for it with proper cleaning on a regular basis. Weekly cleanings can keep your frequently-worn jewelry looking as new as the day you bought it. Luckily, you can easily clean gold at home without a professional jeweler's help.

Here is a recommended method for cleaning your gold bracelet:

Mix soap and water together - Grab a small dish and mix lukewarm water with a few drops of dish soap. You can take a spoon or soft toothbrush to swirl the water around, generating small bubbles with the soap.

Soak the gold bracelet - It’s recommended to soak your bracelet for several minutes, even up to several hours, allowing the soap to remove any dirt or debris from the surface gently.

Gently brush the fixtures - Use the soft toothbrush to gently brush the claps, any divots or other small details of the bracelet.

Rinse - Run the gold bracelet under cool water to remove any soap or debris.

Dry with a microfiber cloth - It’s best to use a soft cloth or microfiber towel that won’t leave behind particles to dry off your jewelry.

While gold can withstand the test of time, it can be helpful to avoid certain chemicals and products that can break down the gold faster. Avoid harmful cleaning chemicals like bleach or chlorine, and when you’re not wearing your jewelry store it in a soft cloth bag or the original packaging to prevent scratches.

How do you style gold bracelets?

Gold is such a versatile metal that you can wear it every day or dress it up for special occasions. With so many ways to wear it, there are countless opportunities to style your Italeau gold bracelet. Here are some of our favorite options:

Stacked with your smartwatch - You don’t have to sacrifice your tech devices when you have a gold bracelet. Adding a gold bracelet to your wrist can elevate your smartwatch’s look and feel.

With a traditional watch - You can wear your gold bracelet with your traditional watch as well. Pair them both on the same hand or wear them on opposite wrists to balance out your look.

With cuffed denim - One item of clothing almost as timeless as a gold bracelet is a denim jacket. Wear a gold bracelet the next time you don a denim jacket, and you’ll have a classic rock and roll look with a little sparkle.

Mix and match with other metals - One of the benefits of a gold bracelet is the ability to mix and match with other metals. Gold can match with silver, rose gold or other metals and luxurious jewelry, making it a versatile piece of your everyday jewelry collection.

Are gold bracelets trendy right now? What kind of gold bracelets are in style?

Gold never really goes out of style, but jewelry trends shift and adjust based on new designs. Gold is known for its timeless aesthetic, and while it has never gone out of style - it’s especially in right now. As we are seeing vintage styles return, gold jewelry is trending. Here are a few common trends we’re seeing in gold bracelets:

The bangle - Like the classic Cartier bracelets, the gold bangle is having its moment. The gold bangle is slipped on and off the wearer's wrist without a clasp.

Diamond - If you’re looking for a little bit more sparkle to your gold bracelet, check out an option with diamonds. The luxurious pairing of diamond and gold can upgrade any look with its understated elegance.

Artistic - Inspired by unique architectural elements, some gold bracelets are taking on twists and turns in their design. This artistic style is becoming popular by incorporating geographical symbols and modifying the curves of a bracelet.

Vintage - What’s old is new again, thanks to vintage-inspired gold bracelets. Featuring intricate designs and carvings, the vintage gold bracelet is being recreated today by several designers.

Chain link - Gold bracelets made with a chain link style are common for a gender-neutral style. Sometimes called a Cuban link bracelet, this style became popular in the 1970s and continues to be a popular gold bracelet style.

Charm bracelet - While the style of charm bracelets has shifted over the years, their collectability and sentimental nature have kept them a staple in jewelry design.
