Hi SQ.....would you recommend the Bony Levy brand or a no name one? I'm looking at the BL ones, but I don't know how to measure for sizing.
Which style bracelet do you prefer & why?

A lot of gals love the Bony Levy bangles! Not sure about the sizing, Oreo...I think they come in 2 sizes. My jeweler made mine for me...2 tcw each, channel setting.
I've had them for years, if I remember correctly 2K each. I have had more compliments on those damn bangles, can't tell you. Plus being channel setting,
indestructible! I've worn them everyday for over 10 years. A little unique...that's why I always suggest them.

They're beautiful...and I LOVE the bangle on the bottom! I think Bony Levy makes four sizes.....6, 6.5, 7, and perhaps 7.5. I don't have a Nordstroms near me to try them on for sizing (grrrrrrrrrrrrr).
Can you contact Nordstom's and ask about the diameter of each size? If you don't have a soft measuring tape...take a string and measure your wrist and compare to a ruler. That should help you decide on size. The diameter of mine is a 2.36"/6 cm but I have small wrists. With an eternity bangle it is best to try on beforehand, they
have to fit over your hand.
The bottom bangle is a Pascal Lacroix tension setting. He has some cool jewelry!
I vote cuff. I had mine made by Jewels by Grace and have worn them daily in the almost two years since I got them. No alignment issues and if they are made specifically for your size wrist they should fit snug and not be an issue with fear of losing them. You could always have a safety chain added if you were concerned.
I owned two DBTY bracelets and sold them. They drove me nuts!! They don't sit up properly, flip around all the time and get oily from natural skin oils, sun screen etc. No such issues with cuffs. Plus if DBTY are set on a very fine chain, they are prone to catch and breaking. I have had several friends who have lost them this way.
I love the look of DBTY but in truth, on me, they never looked like they do in photos.
Here is mine. Its the day i picked them up. Take in the car outside Fedex as I couldn't wait any longer.

These are beautiful! I have a few questions if you don't mind?
What are the size/weight of the stones used in your bracelet?
Is the bracelet solid?
Do you sleep in them?
How did you decide on size? because they look like they are snug but perfect fit. Did you just give your exact wrist size or did you add something for more space?
Are these Plat or WG?
Thank you!
Thank you. [emoji4]
Each stone is half a carat. The double cuff was my old diamond stud earrings. I had upgraded my earrings to 75 pointers and didn't know what to do with these. This was my favorite choice. The other is an old cut diamond I bought in a ring. I rarely wore it so decided to make a stack of bangles with them.
I know your sizes are different to mine but I wouldn't worry about the size as the bezel, whilst delicate adds some ooomph to the diamond look. You could perhaps do a double bezel of you wanted a bigger look.
I gave Grace my wrist size and said I wanted a snug fit. She did the rest and I couldn't be happier. She is wonderful to work with.
The pendant in the picture will probably be my next bangle as I prefer to be able to see my jewelry so I'm not as mad on pendants and earring as I am for rings and bracelets. [emoji56]
I am not sure about the solid part. They are very firm and I've had no bends or dents so I assume they are.
I don't sleep in any jewelry at all. Mine are in 14 carat white gold.
If I can help in any way don't hesitate to ask. [emoji2]
