Pearl Green Stone Link Bracelet | 100500377765540

How to measure

1. Measure your wrist:
   • Wrap a soft measuring tape around your wrist where you’d wear the bracelet. Record the exact wrist size.
   • No tape? Use a string, mark where it overlaps, then measure the string with a ruler.
2. Choose your fit allowance:
   • Snug fit: add 0.25–0.5 in (0.6–1.3 cm) to your wrist size
   • Classic fit: add 0.5–0.75 in (1.3–1.9 cm)
   • Relaxed/drapey: add 0.75–1 in (1.9–2.5 cm)
3. Measure an existing bracelet:
   • Lay it flat and measure end-to-end including the clasp.
   • If there’s an extender chain, the length is typically given as a range (e.g., 6.5–7.5 in). Measure to the link you usually fasten.
4. Visual scale:
   • Pearls and stones for this style are commonly 4–8 mm; link chains vary ~3–8 mm wide. Larger beads/links feel more fitted than fine chains at the same length.

Quick reference: 6 in wrist ≈ 7–7.5 in bracelet for classic/relaxed fit. 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials overview

Exact materials may vary by variant. Refer to the specifications on this page; the notes below explain common options used in pearl and green-stone link bracelets and how to care for each.

Pearls

• Type: Typically freshwater cultured pearls with natural luster and subtle surface variation.
• Properties: Organic gem; Mohs hardness ~2.5–4 (softer than most stones). Avoid abrasives, acids, and high heat.
• Look: Off-white to ivory with iridescent sheen; shapes range from round to near-round or baroque.

Green gemstone (commonly used options)

• Jade (nephrite/jadeite): Smooth, rich green; durable (Mohs ~6–7). Gentle soap-and-water only; no harsh chemicals.
• Aventurine (quartz): Translucent green with subtle sparkle; Mohs ~6.5–7. Clean with mild soap and water; avoid ultrasonic if included with pearls.
• Malachite: Vivid banded green; softer and porous (Mohs ~3.5–4). Keep dry; avoid acids, soaps, ultrasonic, and steam.
• Green agate: Uniform green (sometimes dyed); Mohs ~6.5–7. Wipe with damp cloth; avoid prolonged soaking, especially if dyed.

Metal links and clasp

• Sterling silver (925): Bright white metal; can tarnish—polish with a silver cloth (avoid rubbing pearls/stones).
• Gold vermeil: Thick gold layer over sterling silver; warmer tone with better longevity than thin plating.
• Gold-plated brass: Fashion-forward look; avoid abrasion, chemicals, and water to prolong plating.
• Stainless steel (304/316L): Highly durable, tarnish-resistant; gentle soap-and-water safe, but still avoid chlorinated pools.

Stringing and findings

• Bead wire (stainless cable): Flexible and strong; ideal for mixed pearls/stones.
• Silk/nylon: Traditional for pearls; may require periodic re-stringing.
• Elastic: Easy on/off; avoid overstretching and chemicals; replace when it shows wear.

Note: Natural pearls and stones vary in color, pattern, and size; slight differences are a hallmark of authenticity.

Model fit and size help

• Fit reference example: On a 15 cm (6 in) wrist, an 18 cm (7 in) bracelet wears with a relaxed drape.
• Guide:
  • Wrist 14–15 cm (5.5–6 in) → bracelet 16.5–18 cm (6.5–7 in) for snug to relaxed
  • Wrist 16–17 cm (6.25–6.75 in) → bracelet 18–19 cm (7–7.5 in)
  • Wrist 18–19 cm (7–7.5 in) → bracelet 20–21 cm (7.75–8.25 in)
• If an extender is included, choose the size where your most-used link sits near the middle of the range for flexibility with seasonal swelling or stacking.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put the bracelet on after lotions, perfume, and hairspray have fully dried.
• Avoid water and chemicals: Remove before showering, swimming, cleaning, or working out. Chlorine, salt, sweat, and acids can dull pearls, stones, and plating.
• Daily clean: Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear. For metals (not touching pearls/stones), use a jewelry polishing cloth.
• Deep clean:
  • Pearls/malachite: Wipe with a barely damp soft cloth; no ultrasonic, steam, or dips.
  • Jade/agate/aventurine + metal: Mild soap and lukewarm water; dry thoroughly.
• Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or compartment to prevent scratches and tangling. Keep dry; consider anti-tarnish tabs for silver.
• Plating care: Avoid friction and stacking against rough textures to extend gold plating life.
• Stringing check: If strung on silk/elastic, consider re-stringing every 12–24 months of regular wear.

Style tips

• Everyday polish: Pair with a white tee, crisp shirt, or knit—pearls brighten neutrals while the green stone adds a subtle pop.
• Evening look: Layer with a fine gold or silver chain bracelet; add matching pearl studs or a green-stone earring for continuity.
• Stacking: Mix textures—one chain, one beaded, one cuff—for dimension. Keep metals consistent for a cohesive stack.
• Color play: Green sings with cream, camel, navy, black, and soft pink; avoid exact color matching—contrast looks elevated.
• Watch pairing: Wear the bracelet on the opposite wrist for balance, or stack slim links beside a watch for a refined set.
• Occasion-ready: Perfect for weddings, garden parties, and smart-casual events—elegant without overpowering.
