Because our silver bracelets are made from genuine 925 sterling, they are durable pieces fit for frequent wear. Still, wearing your silver bracelets to sleep runs the risk of damaging your jewelry. Silver chain bracelets can catch on pillows, blankets or on your own hand. If your bracelet gets caught on something while you're sleeping, it may break. Silver bangles are less likely to be damaged, but they might not be very comfortable to relax in.
How tight should a sterling bracelet be?
Generally, you want to be able to fit a finger in between your wrist and your bracelet. The fit may alter slightly depending on the type of bracelet. Silver bangle bracelets need more room between your skin and the loop, as the bangle needs to fit over your wrist and hand. Chain bracelets can fit a bit tighter than a bangle, as you fasten them onto your wrist with a clasp.
