Friendship bracelets are no longer reserved for the playground – remember the days you’d spend swapping those neon-hued plastic bangles? – and they’re actually having a serious moment. Jewellery brands such as Monica Vinader, Roxanne Assoulin and Estella Bartlett have taken their respective collections of friendship jewellery to the next level, and we’re seeing an influx of the dainty accessory on the high street, on social media and on the catwalk. What better way to celebrate Galentine’s Day than by treating your bestie to a gold plated heart bracelet and showing her how much you care?
Inexpensive and often adorned with gemstones or birthstones, friendship bracelets can be found on the majority of our favourite jewellery brands’ websites… which begs the question: Why haven’t we thought of buying them by the dozen before? Donning a collection of friendship bracelets is the easiest way to brighten up an outfit and make for the perfect layering addition alongside all your usual jewellery suspects.
When we were 10, being given handcrafted and personalised gifts like friendship bands meant everything to us. Now we’re older, the chicest way to show our bezzie mates that we care is a grown-up reinterpretation by the designer of your choice. Because she’s worth it, right?
Do friendship bracelets have to match?
No! Now you’re older and know your best mates beyond the school classroom, you’ll be aware of their likes and dislikes. Chances are a few of them are the total opposite of you, so you could go for something like this Woven Chain Bracelet Set from Estella Bartlett – where one is colourful and the other one is plain – and give her the one that best suits her personality.
If you do want to match though, and we don’t blame you, then something like these Kissing Moon Bracelets or these Rose Quartz and Enamel BFF Bracelets would be super cute.
What is a friendship bracelet made of?
That totally depends on the style you choose. You can yellow gold or rose gold friendship bracelets, or you can get beaded iterations (case in point: these pastel, beaded bracelets from ASOS). If you’re after adjustable bracelets to suit your entire girl gang, make a beeline for cord bracelets like these personalised Wish bracelets from Etsy. They’re available in lots of different colors and can be tightened to fit her wrist. Want to get crafty? Consider a DIY kit for beginners like this charm bracelet set from ASOS. It comes with everything you need, from embroidery floss to pendants and initial beads.
