Silver Bangles – Your Go‑to Guide for Styling, Care & Buying

If you’re scrolling through jewellery collections and spot a pair of gleaming silver bangles, you’re probably wondering how to pick the right ones and keep them looking fresh. At RH Jewellers we’ve gathered the most practical tips so you can shop with confidence, wear them proudly, and make them last.

How to Choose the Right Silver Bangle

First thing – size matters. Slip your hand over a regular bangles and notice how much wiggle room you have. A good fit lets the bangle roll over your knuckles without feeling tight, yet it shouldn’t slide off like a loose bracelet. Many shops offer a simple size chart: measure the circumference of your wrist with a soft tape, add about 1‑2 cm for comfort, and match that number to the listed size.

Next, check the purity stamp. In India, 833 or 92.5 % pure silver is the standard, and you’ll see ‘833’ or ‘925’ stamped on the inside. This stamp guarantees quality and helps you avoid cheap alloys that tarnish quickly.

Design is the fun part. Traditional Indian bangles often feature intricate filigree, enamel work, or tiny gemstone accents. Modern styles may have sleek matte finishes or geometric patterns. Think about when you’ll wear them – a bold, heavily‑embellished pair works great for weddings, while a simple polished bangle fits everyday office wear.

Price can vary a lot. Hand‑crafted pieces from artisans in places like Jaipur or Surat usually cost more because of the labour involved, but they also carry a story. If you’re on a budget, look for machine‑made bangles that still have the 833 stamp – they’ll give you that classic shine without a steep price tag.

Caring for Your Silver Bangles

Silver loves a bit of TLC. After you first wear your bangles, wipe them with a soft cloth to remove any oil from your skin. This prevents the first layer of tarnish from forming.

If you notice dull spots, a quick dip in warm water with a pinch of baking soda does the trick. Gently rub with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach – they’ll eat away the metal.

Store them right. Keep each bangle separate, preferably in a soft pouch or a jewellery box with anti‑tarnish strips. This stops them from scratching each other and slows oxidation.

One habit that saves a lot of hassle is taking your bangles off before you shower or swim. Chlorine and salt water speed up tarnishing, and the extra weight can loosen the fit over time.

Finally, think about the occasion. If you’re planning to wear silver bangles at a night‑out, pair them with outfits that have cool or neutral tones – navy, white, or black make the metal pop. For a festive look, match them with a bright lehenga or a silk saree; the contrast highlights the sparkle.

Whether you’re buying your first pair or adding to a growing collection, the right silver bangles can become a go‑to accessory you reach for again and again. Browse RH Jewellers’ selection, use these buying tips, and enjoy the timeless charm of genuine Indian silver.
