10 Bracelets I Want to Buy Right Now

If you’re clueless about jewelry like I am, KAY is more than likely your first stop. This stainless steel foxtail with a lobster clasp looks tasteful and understated, and at a price that feels just right. You just can’t beat simplicity.

Coming at a lean 3mm width and purportedly made in Tuscany in Italy, Manssion claims this piece is sweatproof and waterproof. Sounds ideal for the dog days of summer ahead.

If all metal isn’t your bag, the earthly Brontide collection from Amsterdam-based Pig & Hen is worth checking out. Each carries a gemstone meant to communicate specific auras. The line comes in multiple color ways and gemstones, all named after Japanese cities.

What if we’re braided bracelet guys? More affordable than any other kind of bracelet (save for maybe a Livestrong band), braided rope bracelets are best for rougher days, though they pair nicely with casual suits. Bico Australia has a solid option for a very solid price.

GLD’s brand identity as the go-to jeweler for athletes has afforded it a maximalist energy that is unlike quiet luxury rivals. But GLD can do refined, such as their elegant 4mm rope bracelet. Our favorite comes in white gold, a fluid choice you can wear from the office floor to the dance floor.

If you like to wear your fandom in a subtle way, Wonder has you covered. A new brand that launched this year, Wonder boasts the Disney license including official jewelries based on Star Wars. One of their best pieces links the hilt of Luke’s lightsaber in a repeating pattern of sterling silver and black rhodium.

Might we be leather bracelet guys? Samos specializes in earthly bracelets, including handfuls of 2-4 connected by a single hook. To balance out the maximalism, we’re looking at the most minimal Samos has to offer: the blacked-out Astorga.

While Movado-owned MVMT are polarizing in the watch world, they’re less divisive with their bracelets. We’re particularly taken by their lava rock stone bead bracelet, which contrasts its array of charred black rocks with a smooth magnetic closure in gold.

If the resurgence of friendship bracelets feel too juvenile, the mature alternative is a personalized piece from Miami-based Miansai. The brand’s ID Chain allows a custom monogram for up to 21 characters. You might not want to give this away to a Swiftie, but you’ve got something that’s really yours, forever.

It’s the fine details that make Prēvaut’s bracelets a standout option. The hexagonal 18-karat gold magnetic closure has alternating patterns of matte and polished finishes, which add an eye-catching zhuzh to any outfit. For once, your watch won’t be the conversation starter.
