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.

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
Two stone bracelets are made to commission at Made With Color: one artist, one bench, in New York. Ask and we will pull stones in daylight and send passports before you decide. Two stones sharing one band, the toi et moi, worn from Josephine to now.
Built around the stone first, like everything in the studio. Nothing in the studio matches this exactly today, which is what commissions are for: we will build it around the stone. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
The pairing is the art: matched stones read formal, contrasting stones read like a conversation.
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.
You and me. Two stones, usually different, set shoulder to shoulder on one ring. Napoleon gave Josephine the first famous one in 1796.
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.
Offset settings catch less than stacked ones. Try the piece with a fist made.
