How to Measure
Use these quick steps to choose the right size and understand the bracelet’s dimensions.
- Measure your wrist:
- Wrap a flexible tape (or a strip of paper/string) just below the wrist bone where the bracelet will sit.
- Mark the overlap and measure the length against a ruler.
- Note the circumference in inches or centimeters.
- Choose your fit allowance:
- Snug fit: wrist + 0.25–0.5 in (6–12 mm)
- Comfort fit (most popular): wrist + 0.75–1 in (19–25 mm)
- Relaxed fit: wrist + 1.25 in (32 mm)
- Measure an existing bracelet (if you have one you like):
- Unclasp, lay flat, and measure end-to-end including the clasp.
- Use that length as your target size.
- Understand component sizes:
- Chain width and opal setting are typically measured in millimeters (mm).
- Stone sizes are listed in mm (length × width); carat weight is less common for opal cabochons.
Materials
Opal: A hydrated silica gemstone prized for its signature play‑of‑color. Each opal features a unique pattern; no two look exactly alike.
- Appearance: iridescent flashes that shift with light and angle.
- Hardness: approximately 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale.
- Sensitivity: avoid rapid temperature changes, prolonged heat, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic/steam cleaning.
- Types: both natural and lab‑created opal exist; lab opal offers consistent color and pattern, while natural opal has one‑of‑a‑kind character.
Platinum plating: A thin, microns‑level layer of platinum applied over a base metal to deliver a bright, white‑metal finish with excellent tarnish resistance.
- Benefits: luminous luster, high durability for daily wear, and a neutral tone that pairs well with silver, white gold, and stainless steel pieces.
- Notes: plating can wear over time with friction; gentle care helps maintain the finish longer.
Base metal beneath the platinum plating (often sterling silver, brass, or stainless steel) varies by style. Refer to the product specifications for the exact base metal and any nickel‑free designation.
Model & Fit Information
Use this fit guide to visualize scale and select your length. Bracelet length equals wrist circumference plus your preferred allowance.
- Small wrists (5.5–6 in / 14–15.2 cm): choose ~6.5–7 in (16.5–17.8 cm)
- Medium wrists (6–6.5 in / 15.2–16.5 cm): choose ~7–7.5 in (17.8–19 cm)
- Larger wrists (6.75–7.25 in / 17–18.4 cm): choose ~7.75–8.25 in (19.7–21 cm)
- Men’s average wrists (7–7.5 in / 17.8–19 cm): choose ~8–8.5 in (20.3–21.6 cm)
If the bracelet includes an extender chain, expect approximately 0.5–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm) of adjustability. Actual fit depends on personal preference and bracelet style.
Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)
- Last on, first off: put the bracelet on after lotions, perfume, hairspray, and sunscreen.
- Avoid moisture: remove before bathing, swimming, working out, or household chores.
- Clean gently: wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after each wear.
- Occasional wash: if needed, briefly swish in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap; rinse quickly and dry thoroughly. Do not soak opal.
- Avoid: ultrasonic/steam cleaners, silver dips, abrasive cloths, and harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia, acetone).
- Store smart: keep separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches and minimize friction on the platinum plating; avoid direct sunlight and high heat.
- Maintenance: with heavy wear, plating may eventually need a professional refresh.
Style Tips
- Elevate neutrals: opal’s play‑of‑color brightens monochrome outfits (white, grey, black, navy) with a subtle flash.
- Layering: stack with a sleek tennis bracelet or slim bangles for a modern, platinum‑tone set.
- Mix‑and‑match metals: platinum plating pairs seamlessly with silver and white gold for cohesive wrist layers.
- Day to night: wear solo for a refined daytime look; add sparkle companions for evening.
- Gifting: opal is October’s birthstone—an elegant choice for birthdays and anniversaries.
