Bracelet

Officially Licensed Bracelets, Bead Sets and Leather Cuffs

One of the most evenly split sections here between club and character. Stainless steel crest bracelets and black IP leather cuffs cover the club side — Aston Villa, Liverpool, Celtic, West Ham, Real Madrid and Chelsea all appear — while the character side is bead-led, with Hello Kitty, Kuromi and My Melody. Friendship bracelet sets, sold in pairs, run across both.

One bracelet or a pair?

The friendship sets exist because they are bought to be split, one each, which makes them the natural gift between siblings or friends rather than a single present. A steel crest bracelet is the opposite: a solo, adult piece. Bead bracelets sit with younger wearers and are the ones that get stacked, so buying two of different designs works better than buying one.

How does the clasp hold up?

It is the part that fails first on unofficial bracelets. Licensed steel pieces use a proper lobster or fold-over clasp rated for the weight of the bracelet, rather than a light jump ring that opens in a coat sleeve.
