Before you choose
A bracelet should clear the wrist bone with one finger of slack. Tennis lines wear closer; bangles need to pass the widest part of the hand.
Prongs on a wrist catch sweaters and door frames. Our tennis lines are bezel or half-bezel set for exactly this reason.
A tennis bracelet is only as good as its box clasp and safety eight. Open ours before you buy; it should close like a car door.
Mixed stones in one metal always work together. Matched stones in mixed metals rarely do.
The short answer
Chain bracelets at Made With Color: one work at $1,680, made to order at one bench in New York. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words. The plainest jewel and the hardest to make well: every link a small soldered promise.
Built around the stone first, like everything in the studio. Every piece shown is a real work in the studio today. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
Weight per inch is the honest measure of a chain. We print it, most will not.
Measure the wrist and add three quarters of an inch for a bracelet, one inch for a bangle.
Tennis lines want safety clasps. Bangles want a hinge if knuckles run large.
16 inches sits at the collarbone, 18 at the first button, 20 and up layers. Measure a chain already loved before ordering.
Today, one work at $1,680. Each is one of a kind, so the page moves as stones sell and new ones are set.
Ready-now works leave the studio within two business days, insured and signed for. Made to order pieces state their bench time on the page, most within three to four weeks.
Thirty days from delivery, in original condition, in the slate box. Resizing is free for life on rings, and any stone we set can be reset into a new mount as taste changes.
A chain wants to be the strongest part of the piece; ours are load-tested past the clasp.
