Styles of bracelets
We offer a diverse blend of bracelet styles to help you meet your style goals. All styles are made using the same time-honored method of bracelet crafting and created by some of Taxco’s finest craftspeople.
Styles of bracelets offered at Mexican Silver Store
- Bangles: A loose-fitting style. These bracelets are generally larger, as there is no clamp to open and close them and are put on by sliding through your hand and wrist.
- Clamper style: Inflexible bracelet which opens and closes with a hinge. This is a more tailored-fitting bracelet style.
- Cuffs: A closer fitting bracelet, though not as tailored as a clamper-style. Has an open back to allow ease of wearing and removal.
Materials used in our Mexican-made bracelets
Our bracelets are only as good as the craftspeople who make them and the materials they use. At Mexican Silver Store, we use high quality metals and gemstones to craft our bracelets.
Silver
Silver is our bread and butter here at Mexican Silver Store. Silver has been an important part of Mexican culture for millenia, and its popularity and use continues to this day.
Unless otherwise noted, we use silver that is 92.5% pure, otherwise known as sterling silver. This is the highest-quality silver available. Watch out for other stores who use “sterling silver plating” on their jewelry.
For the highest quality jewelry, always buy authentic Mexican sterling silver.

Bracelets FAQ
How should my bracelet fit?
Every style of bracelet will require a slightly different fit. Additionally, every person will feel comfortable with different levels of tightness, or look for different style aspects in how their bracelets fit.
- With bangle bracelets you should be able to fit a finger or 2 between your wrist and bracelet. Remember, your hand will have to fit through this bracelet while still being tight enough to fall off while wearing, so decide on size carefully.
- Clamper style bracelets are adjustable, and can fit as feels comfortable to you when you receive the bracelet.
- Cuff bracelets will fit a variety of wrist shapes and sizes, and leave plenty of room for adjustability. It should sit on your wrist and not move too much further down your arm. It also should also not pinch your skin between the 2 ends while wearing.
What should I look for when buying a bracelet?
One of the beautiful things about our collection of bracelets is that we offer a plethora of styles, materials, and types. This offers you great leeway when making a purchase to suit your style.
We recommend browsing our selection of bracelets and choosing one that connects with you, your style, and your soul.
How should I clean and take care of my bracelet?
In general, all jewelry that we sell is durable, long-lasting, and does not require constant maintenance.
We recommend the use of a simple microfiber cloth to clean your jewelry. With silver, gently rub the cloth against the grain. We recommend that you avoid jewelry cleaners, as they are not safe for all materials and can often do more harm than good.
We recommend that you keep your bracelet in a felt-lined jewelry box or other protective case. No matter what, do your best to keep them out of direct sunlight or excessive heat.
