The Silver Bangle Jewelry Category Matures
by Patty Buttonweiser
Sterling silver bangles have followed the stackable rings trend, you can’t just stop at one. The bigger the stack, the more fabulous the look. Texture and colors are what brings a silver bangle to life. Multiple silver bangles create huge opportunities to fashion a look that is at once dramatic but classy and bold but elegant. David Yurman incorporates this principle of stacking silver bangle bracelets creating a fresh look by alternating open and closed bangles while at the same time mixing and matching gemstones for a multicolor look while retaining a uniform texture.
You can see this in his color candy collection where he combines semiprecious end stones with pave set matching precious stones. So for instance in one solid silver bangle the center stone will be a blue topaz and the side stones will be sapphires. In another the center stone will be pink rubellite or pink topaz while the pave accent stones will be rubies. In the third sterling silver bangle bracelet the centerstone will be citrine while the accent stones will be yellow sapphire. All these different color bangles can be stacked together or separated each from the other by a closed plain vintage silver bangle or plain silver bangle.
Stackable bangles need not be as dressy as David Yurman’s collection. John Hardy’s bamboo style silver bangle jewelry is a set of 3 closed round bangles that you just slip on one after the other. Similar style bangles can also be found in Elle jewelry collections. They are wonderfully finished bangles that have a casual elegance to them and run between $300 and $400 for the set of three. Similar style bangles can also be found in the Elle jewelry collections. Judith Ripka’s sterling silver bangle brackets have a completely different look in that they are skinny slip on bangles in her classic Etruscan styling with small dangling gold charms that give them a playful yet classic appeal.
Unusual treatments of sterling silver through oxidation makes possible to produce silver bangles in shades of gray.sterling silver bangle bracelets form the Soho company is made in sterling silver but it is in subtle tones of silvery gray. The proprietary finishing process begins with oxidation and the application of texture to the silver. Then the silver is covered with a patented finish that looks like a clear enamel, with the silver visible and also reflective below this layer, in three shades of gray. Some have single or double stations of diamonds set in bright finished sterling silver for a quality look that one could easily mistake for platinum or white gold.
