Bangle bracelets come in myriad shapes, colors, and styles. From simple leather cuffs to beautiful gold and diamond bands, your choices are endless. For a gift to a loved one, however, the jeweled and elegant style is the best choice. Bangles are rigid, and meant to be slipped on over the hand or, occasionally, closed on a hinge around the wrist. This rigidity makes them less understated than a line bracelet, which lends itself well if your love is a fan of statement pieces that can still remain elegant and sophisticated.

When you think the word “bracelet”, the image that comes to mind is probably a line bracelet. Line bracelets are flexible strings or chains, tied onto the wrist with a clasp. They may be as simple as a gold chain, or as intricate as a string of diamonds and precious gems. These types of bracelets are flexible rather than rigid as bangles are. They are also thin and made more for a simple addition to an ensemble, rather than to be used as a statement piece. Line bracelets lend any outfit a simple, understated elegance, and for a romantic night out, they are a perfect choice. Line Bracelets are an especially lovely choice if you are looking to purchase a matching bracelet/necklace set. Because a line bracelet is based on a chain design, matching it to a necklace in style and type is easier than doing the same with a bangle.
