Silver Name Bracelets' Beginning
The term bracelet is believed to have originated from the Latin term ‘brachile’, which means ‘of the arm’. Bracelets can be made from metals, clothes, and other natural or synthetic fabrics, such as leather or string. But the more impressive bracelets are those made from silver and gold – in other words: from precious metals. Many of the gold and silver name bracelets are embellished with semi precious stones, gems and studs, and of course – with diamonds.
Silver name bracelets are forged out of silver and carry a person's name – either engraved on a silver name plate, or cut-out letters attached to the chain in another method. Unlike red gold for example, silver has no other elements added to it to create a variation in color. However, some silver may be oxidized to create a "black" color on its surface.
The most popular and widespread silver used in silver jewelry today is 925 marked sterling silver, thus our silver name bracelets are created using only this kind of silver, giving the bracelets a wonderful shine, strength, and durability.

Caring for Silver Name Bracelets: The Best Tip
Because of silver's unique properties, silver jewelry may oxidize and loose its shine over the course of time. You can have your silver name bracelets cleaned by a jeweler or clean it yourself with a variety of silver cleaning agents. But there is an easier way to clean your name bracelet: Gently rub a household eraser over the letters of the name (Yes, the same eraser you use for erasing pencil!). This will clean the black marks off the name and bring back the shine until you can get to a jeweler. This trick is great for silver name necklaces too!
