Before you choose
How to choose a bracelet
Measure the wrist bone, add a finger
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.
Daily wear wants bezels
Prongs on a wrist catch sweaters and door frames. Our tennis lines are bezel or half-bezel set for exactly this reason.
Clasp quality is the piece
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.
Stack by metal, not by match
Mixed stones in one metal always work together. Matched stones in mixed metals rarely do.
The short answer
Spessartite bangle bracelets at Made With Color: one one of a kind work at $1,320, each built around a stone chosen loose, in daylight, in New York. Garnet in saturated marigold orange. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words. A rigid circle of metal, the most sculptural thing a wrist can wear.
About spessartite
Garnet in saturated marigold orange. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
CHOOSING THE STYLE
On the style
The fit test: it should pass over the folded hand with gentle pressure, then turn freely.
Start with hardness
Spessartite is 7.25 / 10 on the Mohs scale. For daily rings, choose a bezel or low prongs; for earrings and pendants, wear it freely.
Fit before beauty
Measure the wrist and add three quarters of an inch for a bracelet, one inch for a bangle.
Then the look
Tennis lines want safety clasps. Bangles want a hinge if knuckles run large.
Bangle or bracelet?
A bangle is rigid and sculptural; a bracelet drapes. Bangles suit stones set flush; bracelets suit stones that want to move.
Is spessartite good for bracelets?
Spessartite is 7.25 / 10 on the Mohs scale. A bracelet meets desks and door frames all day. Bezels and inline settings survive; high prongs do not.
Which birthstone is spessartite?
Spessartite is the Jan birthstone and the traditional stone of the None anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Are these stones treated?
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
How do these wear?
Bangles ring against desks. Hinged bangles fit closer and knock less.
