People wear belcher bracelets often but they don't know the cool history of this style. Interestingly, the belcher chain style is supposed to be named after a boxer from the 19th century! He was called the 'Champion of all England' and the bracelets were named for him - James 'Jem' Belcher.

In tradition, the bracelets and their circular links are supposed to represent strength and connection. Belcher bracelets can be plain but also can have designs on each link which can obviously impact the price.

Nowadays, a belcher bracelet still gives off luxury, especially one with diamonds in it!

Belcher bracelets are usually made of metal. So, silver belcher bracelet styles will be made with sterling silver or titanium. They might also be white gold, but this is slightly softer and might not be as hardy as the other two metals.

Gold styles from Camile & Stone come in solid gold and gold vermeil. And if you're wanting a rose gold belcher bracelet, we offer rose gold vermeil too.

Because it’s a chain style bracelet, it's pretty uncommon to find them in anything other than metal style. Though they can have added gemstones like diamonds and moissanite.

A Belcher link bracelet is actually the same thing as a role chain! There's so many different chain styles, like the Figaro chain style, so it can be hard to tell the difference.

Rolo chains, or belcher chains, are known for having larger circle links. These links connect with one another. They can be plain but some have gemstones set into them. Additionally, the links can have designs on them.

Belcher bangles have very big links, but you can get them with smaller and more delicate links.

Yes. So, because of the way the chains are made (with interlocking circles), this kind of chain is actually often more sturdy than other styles of chain.

Of course, the strength might be impacted by the metal. So a white gold style won't be as strong as a rose gold belcher bracelet because rose gold is harder than white gold (because of the added copper!).

This isn't to say that belcher chains are impervious to damage. But it's definitely harder to damage them!

You can wear belcher bracelets in lots of ways.

Wear a chunky belcher bracelet (or bangle style) as a statement piece. You could add it to an outfit like a plain dress or a white shirt and jeans. Gold or silver would work here, but if you want more luxury then add a diamond bracelet!

Thin belcher bracelet styles will look great for elegant outfits. If you're off to a wedding or formal event, you can add a thin belcher bracelet to your dress. This will add something pretty but won't overwhelm the outfit.

Remember you can get Belcher chain necklaces too. So, if you don't want to add a bracelet, consider a chain necklace instead!

Yes, as a strong chain, you definitely can.

Belcher charm bracelet styles are very cool. Because they're so thick they stand out and you've got loads of room to add charms through the big loops. You can add lots of charms or just stick with one or two.

Custom belcher bracelets can also be made unique with a pendant. You might add your birthstone to make a birthstone bracelet. You could also add another pendant to make it different. At Camile & Stone, we offer lots of engraving options, so if you want an engraved belcher bracelet we can help.

You could engrave the individual links to make it special too. Or you could get a pendant engraved and then add it to the bracelet.

Yes. Since the style is named after a man we'd say you definitely can wear a belcher bracelet as a man. One of the best things is these bracelets come in different thicknesses. So if you're not someone who likes stand-out pieces, you can wear a thin gold belcher bracelet.

On the other hand, you can get thick belcher bracelet styles for men that stand out and look great. In fact, men can even wear diamond belcher bracelet styles if they want to.

We're of the opinion that jewellery - no matter the type - is for anyone who wants to wear it.

Belcher chain bracelet styles are made with circle or oval link styles. So are trace chains but they are different. Trace chains have links that are much tighter. The line is much cleaner with the links holding much closer in trace chains.

Belcher bracelets are known for their big loops. You can get them in very thick styles that make them almost bangle-like. Trace chains are much daintier and can add a touch of elegance to an outfit.

Both chains can be seen as necklaces and anklets too. They can also have pendants added. Most often, these chains are made with gold or silver too.
