Which Bracelet for Which Style?

Bracelets are essential style elements. At Maison Bäumer, bracelets come in all forms: bangles, chain links, cords, and ID bracelets; and in all colors: white, yellow, rose, black, red, or blue. Each jewelry piece offers complete ranges for all styles, bringing sobriety and elegance. The bracelet is also one of the master pieces of High Jewelry at Maison Bäumer. For example, the new Gourmandise Automne features an autumn garden, with fruit-shaped stones: one can see citrines or even smoky quartz, cut into pearl shapes. Maison Bäumer's High Jewelry bracelets offer a chic and original style.

Which bracelet for my wrist type?

The different types of bracelets adapt to wrist size. For a thin wrist, it is advisable to choose equally thin jewelry. Maison Bäumer's essentials are perfectly suited as we offer fine gold chains, elegant and feminine bangles, and cords (grey, black, navy blue, red, white). The women's collection Pense à Moi or Battement de Cœur , for example, comes in all shapes for all wrists.

Conversely, for a stronger arm, it is sometimes preferable to choose a thicker item, such as the titanium models from Maison Bäumer.

**What bracelet to get a man?**

For men, the bangle is a must-have. Its thickness adds a touch of virility to the jewel while offering a large surface of brilliance. Bangles made of light metal such as silver or white gold perfectly match a masculine style that appeals to women. A silver bangle bracelet will be at a lower price. A chain bracelet with large or medium curb-style links can also be very appealing. And finally, for a more relaxed and light style, a black or red cord is perfect. Indeed, dark and discreet shades are very suitable for both work and home, matching perfectly with all outfits, whether casual or dressed up. Certain stones are also highly appreciated. The essential ones are tiger's eye and lapis lazuli, which can be found in bead or slab form, and are bought at more reasonable prices. The black pearl is also a rare and extremely popular mineral in men's jewelry, offering elegance and mystery. At Bäumer, the men's collection offers many jewels to discover, as well as accessories that will perfectly match, such as brooches, tie clips, watches, or even cufflinks.

How do I clean my bracelet?

There are multiple ways to clean it, depending on the material. In most cases, cleaning should be done carefully. This can be done at a jewelry store (polishing, rhodium plating), but a few simple techniques will allow you to clean your jewelry directly at home.

To clean yellow gold and restore its shine, you can wash it with simple, inexpensive products:

- water with Marseille soap for all types of metal

- toothpaste, letting it dry then rinsing with lukewarm water between the links

- water and baking soda

- white vinegar or a little dish soap in lukewarm water

As with silver, there are also special wipes that can be purchased directly from any jeweler.

For white and rose gold, it is important to clean them more delicately to preserve their color. Their maintenance therefore requires more care: we advise soaking the gold part in a bowl of lukewarm soapy water for 1 to 2 minutes maximum; then wiping it with a soft, clean cloth. This softer and more attentive care will preserve all the brilliance of the gold. It is also advisable to have a new rhodium plating applied every 1 or 2 years to maintain the whiteness of the gold.

For a chain ID bracelet, it is advisable to gently clean the space between each link with a soft toothbrush to remove any small deposits.

For a fabric or leather bracelet, it is best to avoid prolonged contact with water so that it does not retain moisture. It is important to dry the fabric thoroughly after cleaning. Indeed, if moisture develops, the fabric will be more fragile and bacteria can easily develop there. A leather bracelet, on the other hand, can become stained or weakened after contact with water or alcohol.

Finally, for jewelry adorned with stones such as tiger's eye, opal, or with pearls, it is important to take special precautions: hot water can damage minerals, or too prolonged contact with water. It is also advisable not to use too oily soap, which will attack the chemical composition of certain minerals.

What material should I choose for my bracelet?

Gold gives jewelry great longevity and a superb shine. Yellow gold is the most resistant to chemicals, as are white and rose gold. Nevertheless, with proper precautions and maintenance, the latter two are choices that offer a unique shine and an original mesh.

Fabric or leather bracelets offer great lightness. Their price is also lower. Although this material is less resistant, its ease of use offers the possibility of changing colors at will for a constant touch of novelty.

Each of Bäumer's bracelets also incorporates essential materials to stay on trend, such as a collection made of titanium or blackened gold. Titanium offers great strength and lightness, and due to its chemical properties, it allows for a wide range of colors (blue, orange, gray, red). It is also used in beads, or in the form of plates or mesh. Titanium mesh gives metal bracelets a unique look. Sterling silver is a more affordable alternative to gold. It can offer a beautiful shine but tends to oxidize easily. Its lower preciousness makes it less suitable for pairing with expensive crystals like ruby or sapphire. Conversely, silver is available in mesh or bangle form and pairs well as a plate with leather, or with beads.

Finally, the choice of stone adorning the bracelet is one of the crucial steps. For a small bracelet, discreet stones like small diamonds or a pearl are very chic and an excellent choice. For larger pieces, a beautiful stone can perfectly complement the entire piece of jewelry and enhance the person wearing it. A large aquamarine, as in the Black Magic Supernova model, adds a superb touch of originality and enhances a woman's outfit.

How to organize your bracelets?

To store them properly, it's essential to consider how the bracelet is made to avoid damaging its links or bending the metal. The best way to do this is to attach them to a cylindrical support that mimics the shape of your wrist. This can be in the open air, but ideally, it should be in a closed box, away from sunlight, and if possible, with a chamois leather lining to protect the gold and minerals. It is also advisable to avoid metal supports, as these can scratch your jewelry pieces. Therefore, always choose velvet, leather, or soft fabric supports to preserve the condition of your precious metals and prevent the links from getting tangled. Pearls require essential care as they are more fragile.

A women's bracelet as a gift

The bracelet is an ideal gift for a woman. It pairs perfectly with all styles and is easily adjustable. Indeed, it is easy to have links removed to shorten it, and fabric ones are adjustable. Unlike necklaces, it's easy to wear several, creating infinite combinations of choice and novelty. A simple design (a pearl, a heart) is sometimes very effective and at a more reasonable price. Chained heartbeat or inseparable models are wise choices for a gift for a woman. Their simplicity and elegance are very appealing and easily match all outfits and all seasons. They can also be combined with earrings, rings, or necklaces from the same collections, thus creating a complete set.
