Lovelinks FAQ's!
What are Lovelinks?
Lovelinks is a range of elegant jewellery based upon the concept of a charm bracelet. The necklaces and bracelets are designed to take a number of links that allow you to personalise your jewellery to reflect your personality, favourite colours or interests. There are over 500 links to choose from. Links can be removed and added with ease enabling you to change your bracelet or necklace whenever you choose.
What Size Bracelet Should I choose?
How to measure your wrist: Use a soft tape measure or thin piece of paper/string and a ruler. Place the tape around your wrist just above the wrist bone. Make sure that you can move the tape or paper/string. Make a note of the measurement. Dependent on how you like your bracelet to fit you need to add 2 - 3cm. Remember that a bracelet full of links will feel smaller by at least 1cm. As an indication my wrist measures 18cm, I have a 21cm bracelet that is full of links and it sits at cuff level. Use the measure or paper/string to the length that you think you need to order and see how it feels on your wrist. We are always happy to exchange bracelets if you find the size too big/small.
How many links will fit on a Lovelinks bracelet?
The number of links that will fit on a Lovelinks bracelet will depend on the style you choose. Murano Glass, silver, gold plated and 14ct links are approximately 1cm. Spacers vary in size between 0.25 - 0.5cm. Barrel links are approximately 1.5cm. As a guide, a 21cm bracelet will fit approximately 20 average size links. Remember to leave space so that your bracelet or necklace can be fastened with ease.
How many links will fit on a Petites bracelet?
Petites are smaller than Lovelinks. The number of links that will fit on a bracelet will depend on the type of bracelet and the size of the links. Most Murano Glass and average sized links will measure just over 0.5cm. Petite Silver and Gold plated bracelets with a length of 21cm will hold approximately 24 links. Petite Leather bracelets will hold approximately 4 - 5 links and are available as gift packs with 5 Murano Glass Petites.
