The coloured stones therefore keep coming back into view and you see the pattern rather than one flat sheet of sparkle. \u003cstrong\u003eColour also makes a broad iced out piece more wearable\u003c\/strong\u003e: where 15mm of white stones alone quickly reads as one block of light, the alternation gives the eye structure and the whole thing looks considered rather than simply maximal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Crosses in the Band, Not Hanging From It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a cross on a chain, the symbols here are embedded in the surface. They do not hang loose, do not turn and always stay upright. On a bracelet that is more practical than it sounds: there is nothing to catch behind a sleeve or end up facing backwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e18 or 20 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your wrist just below the wrist bone and add about 2 cm: below 16.5 cm take 18 cm, above that 20 cm. \u003cstrong\u003eOn a broad set band you want it slightly loose rather than tight\u003c\/strong\u003e, because at 15mm the settings press against your skin as soon as there is no slack left. Too loose is not a problem here: the bracelet then turns with your wrist, and that is exactly what makes the coloured stones light up in turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Copper Alloy and Not Stainless Steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 15mm there are hundreds of small settings in this bracelet, each holding a stone. \u003cstrong\u003eCopper can be worked more finely than stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, so those settings sit tightly together and almost no metal stays visible between the stones. On steel you do not get that density, which is why virtually every serious iced out piece is built on a copper base. Copper is also denser than hollow steel, and at this width you feel it straight away: the bracelet lies heavy on your wrist rather than tinny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFive Layers of PVD, and Why That Counts on a Wrist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver colour is applied with PVD, physical vapour deposition: the material is bonded at molecular level inside a vacuum chamber rather than laid on galvanically, at Carpe Ice in five layers. That makes the finish \u003cstrong\u003econsiderably harder and more scratch-resistant than an ordinary coating\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a cool silver tone that counts double, because a worn spot would otherwise show immediately as a warmer undertone. The alloy underneath is nickel-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping It Sparkling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA copper alloy is more sensitive to moisture than steel, so this is a piece for going out rather than for the gym. \u003cstrong\u003eTake the bracelet off before showering, swimming and training\u003c\/strong\u003e, apply fragrance and hand cream before you put it on, and store it dry in the box it came in. Hand cream collects under the setting, exactly where the light has to pass through, and \u003cstrong\u003eon coloured stones you notice it sooner\u003c\/strong\u003e because dulling mutes the colour first. A dry, soft toothbrush lifts it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStyling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 15mm with colour in it, this is the piece that gets the attention. Wear it on your free wrist and keep the rest neutral and silver-toned; two coloured pieces side by side end up competing. If you want a set, the matching cross chain in the same width and finish is the logical addition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carpe Ice","offers":[{"title":"18 cm","offer_id":54298795082072,"sku":null,"price":110.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"20 cm","offer_id":54298795114840,"sku":null,"price":115.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/3904\/3160\/files\/Kruis-en-Edelstenen-ICED-OUT-Witgoud-Armband-Carpe-Ice.jpg?v=1785765234","url":"https:\/\/carpeice.com\/en\/products\/cross-bracelet-iced-out-silver-tone","provider":"Carpeice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
