Jubilee Bracelet Silver Stainless Steel (10mm)

Jubilee Bracelet Silver Stainless Steel (10mm) That Stays Flat on Your Wrist

The jubilee link is built from five rows side by side, with narrow links flanking the broader ones. That makes the bracelet 10mm wide and completely flexible, so it wraps around your wrist instead of sitting on it like a stiff band. The base is stainless steel, polished to a silver tone, and there's no coating on it that can wear through.

Why a Jubilee Link Wears Differently

A Cuban or king's link is made of separate, thick links, but the jubilee is built from many small elements. That gives you two things: the bracelet lies flat on your wrist without tilting, and light hits dozens of small faces at once instead of a few large ones. The result is a finer, calmer shine that gets noticed without shouting. The fold over clasp closes flush, so there's no bulky lobster clasp sitting under your wrist.

Five Rows of Links With No Coating That Can Come Off

On a jubilee, dozens of links constantly move against each other, and that's exactly where a finish takes the hardest wear. This bracelet has no finish: the silver color is the polished steel itself. That's why wear leaves no lighter patch, the way it would on a gold tone bracelet, where the coating thins and the steel underneath starts to show. It doesn't get easier than this.

18, 20 or 22 cm

Measure your wrist and add about 1.5 cm: 18 cm (7.1 in) for a narrower wrist, 20 cm (7.9 in) for most and 22 cm (8.7 in) if you like a looser fit. A fold over clasp can't be adjusted the way a lobster clasp with an extension chain can, so measuring pays off more here than with an ordinary link bracelet. If you're between two sizes, go up.

Care

You can keep this bracelet on in the shower and at the gym. That's because silver tone steel is bare steel with no coating; the gold tone and rose gold tone jubilee versions do have a coating, so take those off for sports and DIY. The pool is the exception: take it off before you get into chlorinated water. Rinse it under the tap after seawater or chlorine. You'll never need silver polish, because it doesn't tarnish the way real silver does. To freshen it up, lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft toothbrush are all it takes; there's more dirt between five rows of links than you'd think.

Silver Tone Steel Versus Real Silver

Real silver reacts to air and sweat and darkens over time. This bracelet doesn't. On the other hand, silver is a precious metal with value in the material itself, and it can always be polished. For a broad bracelet you wear every day and then want to forget about, steel is the more practical choice.

Styling

Silver tone steel matches the case and bracelet of almost any steel watch, which makes this the easiest one to pair. Wear both on the same wrist with a few centimeters between them so they don't tap against each other.
