Curated Essentials
Pure 925 sterling silver bracelets, left unplated: telkari filigree cuffs woven by hand in Midyat, curb and rope chains, charm bracelets and adjustable bangles.
Filigree cuffs vs chain bracelets
A filigree cuff is rigid and sits in one place on the wrist — it reads as a single statement piece and shows the handwork best. Chain bracelets move, layer well with a watch, and forgive a wrist measurement that is slightly off thanks to the extender.
If you are buying a first silver bracelet to wear daily, a chain style will take more knocks. Filigree is finer and better suited to occasional wear, where the openwork stays crisp.
