Turquoise Alloy Bracelet | Style A / One Size 101300606345721

How to measure

The Turquoise Alloy Bracelet should fit comfortably without pinching or sliding too far up the arm. Use the steps below to find your best size.

1. Measure your wrist:
   • Wrap a flexible tape around the narrowest part of your wrist (just above the wrist bone). Note the number.
   • No tape? Use a string, mark the overlap, then measure the string against a ruler.
2. Choose your fit allowance:
   • Snug fit: add about 0.5 cm (1/4 in) to your wrist measurement.
   • Everyday/comfort fit: add about 1.0 cm (3/8–1/2 in).
   • Loose/stacking fit: add about 1.5–2.0 cm (5/8–3/4 in).
3. Convert to bracelet size:
   • For chain or stretch styles: Wrist + allowance = ideal bracelet length.
   • For cuffs: choose a size close to your wrist circumference. A small gap is normal—avoid over-bending to tighten.
   • For bangles: measure around your knuckles while making a fist; divide by 3.14 to find the minimum inner diameter that fits over the hand.
4. Measuring an existing bracelet:
   • Chain/clasp: lay flat and measure from the tip of the clasp to the end ring.
   • Stretch bracelet: measure the inner circumference at rest (or the end-to-end length if easier).
   • Cuff/bangle: measure the inner diameter; inner circumference ≈ diameter × 3.14. For cuffs, also note the gap length.

Tip: Between sizes? Size up slightly for comfort—especially if you plan to stack with other bracelets.

Typical length guide (general): 16–16.5 cm (6.25–6.5 in) small wrists, 17–18 cm (6.75–7.0 in) average, 18.5–19.5 cm (7.25–7.75 in) fuller fit.

Materials & composition

Turquoise

• What it is: A copper–aluminum phosphate gemstone prized for sky‑blue to green hues; natural variations and matrix veining make every piece unique.
• Common in jewelry: Turquoise is often stabilized (reinforced with a clear resin) or reconstituted to improve hardness and color longevity—both are widely used and help it wear better daily.
• What to expect: Slight differences in color, pattern, and bead/stone shape are normal and part of its character.
• Care note: Turquoise is porous—avoid chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged water exposure.

Metal alloy

• What it is: A durable blend of base metals commonly used in fashion jewelry (often zinc-, brass-, or copper‑based alloys).
• Finish: Many alloy pieces receive a protective coating or plating to enhance shine and reduce surface tarnish.
• Sensitivity note: If you have nickel sensitivities, consider using a clear jewelry barrier on contact points unless a nickel‑free spec is confirmed.
• Wear over time: Contact with moisture, lotions, and friction can soften the finish; gentle care extends its life.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put your bracelet on after lotions, perfumes, and hair products have fully dried; remove before washing hands, swimming, or gym sessions.
• Daily wipe-down: After wearing, gently polish with a soft, dry cloth to remove skin oils and sweat.
• Safe storage: Keep in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches and reduce moisture exposure; add a silica gel pack if available.
• Avoid chemicals: Keep away from household cleaners, perfumes, sunscreen, and hand sanitizer—these can dull turquoise and degrade alloy finishes.
• No ultrasonic or steam cleaners: Turquoise is porous and may be stabilized; clean only with a lightly dampened cloth and dry immediately.
• Cuffs: If applicable, adjust once for your wrist and avoid repeated bending.

Style tips

• Let the color pop: Pair with crisp whites, denim, or neutrals for a fresh, coastal feel.
• Mix your metals: Turquoise complements both gold‑tone and silver‑tone pieces—layer with slim bangles or a minimal chain.
• Stack smart: Combine with natural textures (leather, wood beads) for a relaxed, bohemian stack; keep other jewelry minimal to spotlight the stone.
• Color play: Contrast beautifully with earth tones, black, or warm corals and peaches.
• Everyday pairing: Wear solo next to a watch for a clean, unisex look that adds a touch of color without overpowering.
