Women’s Bracelets in Melbourne: Gold, Diamond and Silver Designs

Gold Bracelets for Women, from Everyday Chains to Diamond Tennis Bracelets

A gold bracelet is one of the most versatile pieces of jewellery you can own. It works with a watch, stacks with other bracelets and goes from the office to dinner without a change. Our gold bracelets are made in 9ct and 18ct gold and come in yellow, white, rose and combination tones.

Italian Gold Bracelets and Bangles

Italian gold has a polish and weight that is easy to recognise once it’s on your wrist. Our collection includes paperclip-link gold bracelets that are light enough for every day, and hinged bangles in yellow, white and two-tone gold that open and close without a clasp. If you love a bold look, pieces from Gival Gioielli, the Italian jewellery house we import, include rope-style cuff bangles set with diamonds. For more gold pieces to wear alongside your bracelet, see our gold jewellery.

Gold Bracelets in Melbourne, Tried On in Person

Choosing a gold bracelet online can be hard, because the width, weight and finish of a bracelet change how it looks on the wrist. If you’re looking for a gold bracelet in Melbourne, our boutique is the easiest place to compare options, because you can try different link styles and widths side by side. Gold bracelets in Melbourne also look different in daylight than under shop lighting, so we’re happy to let you see them in natural light. If you can’t visit, we offer free shipping Australia-wide, and we’re happy to help over the phone or by email with sizing before you order.

Diamond Bracelets and Tennis Bracelets

A diamond tennis bracelet is a continuous line of diamonds set in a flexible band of gold, designed to catch the light with every movement of your wrist. Our diamond bracelets are 18ct gold classic four-claw tennis bracelets in a range of total diamond sizes. Four-claw settings hold each stone securely while letting plenty of light reach it. When you compare diamond bracelets, look at how secure the claws are and how freely the links move on your wrist.

Many women choose a gold and diamond bracelet for a milestone such as an anniversary, a significant birthday or a career achievement. Gold and diamond bracelets also pair well with matching earrings or a pendant in the same style, which you can add over time.

Mined or Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Most of our tennis bracelets are available with either mined or lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, with the same chemical makeup and appearance as mined stones, and they usually cost less for the same size. Mined diamonds are formed naturally and are often chosen for their long-term rarity. Neither choice is wrong, and we’ll explain the difference plainly so you can decide what suits you.

Silver Bracelets for Women

Silver bracelets suit women who like a lighter, cooler tone, and they are often easier to wear every day. Our silver bracelets are made in sterling silver and include cuff bangles, some with a rose-gold plated finish. Sterling silver is a smaller part of our range than gold, so if you’re looking for a particular silver bracelet in Melbourne, such as a chain, a charm bracelet or a slim bangle, ask us and we’ll talk through what we can source or make for you. Silver bracelets in Melbourne are best chosen in person, because the finish and weight can differ noticeably from piece to piece.

Ladies Bracelets for Every Occasion

Ladies bracelets are one of the most popular gifts, because they are personal without needing a ring size. Some of the occasions our clients buy for include:

• A significant birthday, such as a 30th, 40th or 50th
• An anniversary or wedding gift
• The birth of a child or a graduation
• A treat for yourself after a big achievement

If you’re buying ladies bracelets as a gift, tell us roughly how often she wears jewellery, what metal she already wears and what she tends to wear on her wrist. We’ll make suggestions that are easy to say yes to.

Jewellery Bracelets with Italian Heritage

Franco Jewellers began in 1968, when founder Franco Ceresiani opened his first boutique in Melbourne after migrating from Italy. Today his daughters, Silvana and Daniela Ceresiani, run the business, and our jewellery bracelets reflect that heritage: Italian gold, careful finishing and designs made to be worn rather than kept in a box. Whether you prefer a simple chain or a statement piece, these jewellery bracelets are made to be worn often.

Our in-house master jeweller, who has more than 25 years of experience, can also design a custom-designed jewellery piece if what you want isn’t in the collection. Perhaps it’s a different length or a mix of gold tones, or a bracelet that reuses stones from an older piece.

How to Choose Women’s Bracelets: Metal, Length and Style

9ct or 18ct Gold Bracelets?

The number tells you how much of the metal is pure gold. 9ct gold is 37.5 per cent gold and is harder-wearing and more affordable, which makes it a good choice for bracelets worn daily. 18ct gold is 75 per cent gold, richer in colour and more precious, and it’s the metal we use for our diamond tennis bracelets. Both are real gold. The right one depends on how you’ll wear the bracelet and what your budget is.

Getting the Length Right

Most women’s bracelets sit between about 17cm and 19cm. A fitted look suits tennis bracelets, with enough room to slide a finger underneath, while bangles and chain bracelets can sit slightly looser. Measure your wrist with a soft tape and add a little for comfort, or visit us and we’ll fit one on you.

Choosing a Style That Suits Your Wrist

A slim paperclip chain suits a delicate wrist and layers well. A bangle or cuff makes a stronger statement on its own. A tennis bracelet works for both dressing up and dressing down. If you’re unsure, try two or three styles side by side, since the right choice often surprises people.

Caring for Your Bracelet

Bracelets take more knocks than most jewellery. Wipe your bracelet with a soft cloth after wearing it and keep it separate from other pieces when stored. Have the clasp and claws checked about once a year. We offer repairs and resizing in our own workshop, and you can protect your pieces with our jewellery insurance guidance.
