Goud- en roségoudkleurig roestvrij staal heeft een PVD-afwerking in vijf lagen, harder dan gewoon verguldsel, maar het blijft een laag, dus die armbanden doe je af voor de douche en de sportschool. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/925-sterling-zilveren-sieraden\"\u003e925 sterling zilver\u003c\/a\u003e is massief edelmetaal met een 925-stempel op de sluiting; het loopt langzaam aan en dat poets je er met een zilverdoek weer af.

A rope has to be able to roll around your wrist: \u003cstrong\u003eif it sits tight the spiral stays still\u003c\/strong\u003e and you lose exactly the effect you are buying it for. So take your wrist measurement plus about 2 cm, slightly looser than you would for a flat link. That comes to 16 cm (6.3 in) for a narrow wrist, 18 and 20 for most, and 22 if you deliberately want it loose.

On a coated or plated bracelet that is exactly where the finish thins first, on the broad flat faces of the link. That is not an issue here, because there is nothing on it. \u003cstrong\u003eA scratch on solid silver is surface damage, not wear-through\u003c\/strong\u003e: a jeweler polishes it out and the bracelet is as new. The same goes for the construction, because solid silver can be soldered, so a damaged link is a repair and not a write-off. If you would rather have something you never need to polish, our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/silver-cuban-bracelet-3mm-7mm\"\u003eCuban bracelet in stainless steel\u003c\/a\u003e is the more practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e20 or 22 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your wrist with a strip of paper just below the bone and add about 1.5 cm: 20 cm (7.9 in) suits a wrist of around 18.5 cm (7.3 in) and 22 cm (8.7 in) a wrist of around 20.5 cm (8.1 in). \u003cstrong\u003eIf you land exactly between two sizes, take the smaller one\u003c\/strong\u003e, because this bracelet has weight and weight pulls a too-loose flat link to the underside of your wrist. If you fall outside these sizes, solid silver can solve that: a jeweler takes links out and solders it closed again, which is not possible on a coated bracelet without damaging the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNext to Your Watch and Next to the Chain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver is softer than the steel of a watch case, so wear the bracelet on your other wrist or keep a few centimeters between them. If you combine it with a chain, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/cuban-necklace-925-sterling-silver-4mm\"\u003eCuban chain in 925 sterling silver in 4mm\u003c\/a\u003e is literally the same link and the two look like a set. \u003cstrong\u003eIf you want more contrast, choose a chain one width narrower\u003c\/strong\u003e, because twice exactly the same width quickly looks repetitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver reacts to air and sweat and darkens over time. Around a wrist that happens faster than around a neck, and on the underside first, because that side rests against your skin. A silver polishing cloth takes it off in a minute, and on flat links you can reach everywhere. Beyond that, lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap and drying it well are enough, because soap and hand cream collect between the links. Take it off before the swimming pool, because chlorine attacks silver, and for sport as well. Store it separately in the box it came in, because silver resting against other metal scratches and tarnishes faster.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carpe Ice","offers":[{"title":"18 cm","offer_id":58561730314584,"sku":null,"price":74.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 cm","offer_id":58344104690008,"sku":null,"price":79.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"22 cm","offer_id":58344104722776,"sku":null,"price":84.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/3904\/3160\/files\/Cuban-Armband-925-Sterling-Zilver-4mm-Carpe-Ice-1.jpg?v=1790572322"}],"url":"https:\/\/carpeice.com\/en\/collections\/armbanden-heren.oembed","provider":"Carpeice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
