How do I measure for a bangle?

Measure the widest part of your hand when your thumb is tucked into your palm, as this dictates the inner diameter needed to slide the piece on safely. Rigid closed circles require careful sizing, whereas hinged cuffs open outward to accommodate various wrist dimensions.

Are these bangles solid silver?

Most items are fashioned from sterling silver, though some feature supplementary gilding or decorative stones like amber and onyx. Look for stamped hallmarks or assay marks to confirm the metal standard used by the workshop.

How should I clean silver bangles?

Use a soft microfibre cloth designed for precious metals to gently remove tarnish without disturbing set stones or enamel work. Avoid harsh chemical dips, particularly on pieces containing marcasite, pearls, or vulnerable enamel inlays.

How do I date a vintage piece?

Official hallmarks often include specific letters or symbols corresponding to the assay office and year of manufacture. Stylistic cues such as mid-century Scandinavian lines or Victorian buckle motifs also help assign pieces to their respective decades.
