Anti Tarnish Buckle Loop Bangle with Stone Band

Product Overview

This anti tarnish Korean-style Bracelet borrows its idea from a belt, and it works because the reference is subtle rather than literal. A slim stone-set band travels around the wrist and passes through an oval loop at the front, so one end appears to thread through and rest against the other. It gives the piece a reason for its shape, which a plain circle of stones does not have, and it reads as modern rather than traditional. The anti-tarnish coating keeps the gold bright where the band folds through the loop, which is exactly where a lesser finish would go dull first.

Design Details

The band is set end to end with small clear stones along its upper face, fine enough to sit flat but wide enough to hold a continuous line of light. At the front it narrows slightly and passes through a rounded loop, with the loop itself outlined in stones so the brightness carries through the join instead of stopping at it. The tip that emerges on the far side is left short and rounded, which keeps the detail neat and stops it catching on a sleeve. Behind the loop the band continues around the wrist to an open back, so the cuff slides on rather than fastening.

Product Highlights

• Stone-set band threading through a stone-outlined buckle loop
• Rounded tip that sits flat and does not catch
• Continuous line of light through the join
• Open back, slides on without a clasp
• Anti-tarnish coating over gold plating, about 15 grams

Styling Suggestions

The buckle detail sits best on the top of the wrist where it can be seen, so turn the cuff into place once it is on. It suits western clothing particularly well, where the belt reference makes sense, and works just as happily with a plain kurti. Wear it alone or with a watch on the other wrist; a second bracelet beside it hides the loop, which is the whole point of the design.

Perfect For

Daily wear, office, dinners and casual outings. It also makes an easy gift, because the design is modern and unfussy enough to suit most tastes without having to guess at someone's preferences.

Care Instructions

Residue collects where the band passes through the loop, so wipe the cuff with a dry soft cloth after every wear and work gently into the join with a clean dry makeup brush. Keep perfume and sanitiser away from it and put it on last. Never soak it or use liquid cleaner, which dries to a film inside the loop. Store it alone in its pouch.
