Hoe werkt de sluiting van een bangle? Zo doe je hem zelf om!

A beautiful bangle on your wrist is, of course, lovely. But how do you actually put on such a bracelet yourself? Fortunately, with a hinge and snap closure, it is much easier than you might think.

You don't have to fiddle with a small clasp and you don't need anyone to help you. Once you know how the closure works, you can easily put on your bangle yourself.

How does a bangle with a snap closure work?

At Just Good Jewellery, we have bangles with a hinge and snap closure.

Thanks to the hinge, you can open the bangle. So you don't have to slide it over your hand, as with a completely closed bangle.

You place the open bracelet directly around your wrist and then snap it shut. Convenient, especially if you like to put on your jewelry yourself and regularly change bracelets.

This is how you put on a bangle yourself

For example, if you want to wear your bangle on your left wrist, you use your right hand to open and close the bracelet.

Step 1. Open the bangle

Carefully release the snap closure and open the bangle at the hinge.

Step 2. Place the bangle around your wrist

Place the open bangle around your wrist. It can help to rest your arm on a table for a moment, so you can hold the bracelet in place more easily.

Step 3. Snap the closure shut

Bring the two ends of the bangle together with your free hand.

And here is another handy tip: press the lower part of the bangle down a little. This way you can bring the ends together more easily and snap the closure shut.

You don't need to push hard or bend the bracelet.

Step 4. Check the closure

Feel if the ends fit together well and the closure is firmly closed.

And you're done! You have put on your bangle all by yourself.

How do you take off your bangle?

That is just as easy.

Carefully release the snap closure, open the bangle at the hinge and remove the bracelet from your wrist.

Our tip: try the closure the first time while you are not yet wearing the bangle. Then you will immediately see how it opens and snaps shut.

Combining a bangle with other bracelets

And once your bangle is on your wrist, of course you can start combining it.

We think a smooth bangle looks great next to a fine chain bracelet, for example. Or wear a beaded bracelet with it for some extra color.

Two bangles with different shapes can also look beautiful together.

The nice thing about a bangle with a hinge and snap closure is that you can easily put it on yourself. This way you can change bracelets just as easily as earrings or necklaces.
