Men's Silver-Tone Chain Bracelets

Men's silver chain bracelets in silver-tone steel

A silver-tone bracelet is the most versatile choice for the wrist. It goes with a steel watch, with blue, gray and black clothes, and with an office shirt as easily as a T-shirt. Every bracelet here is polished stainless steel or titanium steel. On the plain silver-tone pieces, the color you see is the polished steel itself.

Steel is hard and light to maintain, which makes these bracelets easy to wear every day.

How to choose a silver-tone bracelet

Think about where you will wear it most.

• At the office, next to a watch: keep it slim, 3 to 6mm. The wheat link chain bracelet comes in 3, 4 or 6mm at 21 cm (about 8.25 inches).
• On weekends, worn alone: go for 6 to 8mm and a textured link. The Byzantine link bracelet is offered in 6 or 8mm at 23 cm (about 9 inches).
• As a statement: wide, flat links from 10mm up. The silver-tone Cuban link bracelet runs from 6 to 16mm at 8.25 inches. For more Cuban options, see men's Cuban link bracelets.
• With contrast: the double wheat link bracelet is 12mm wide with blackened details, in 8.25 or 8.75 inches.

Silver-tone with a steel watch

This is the easiest pairing in men's jewelry. A steel watch and a silver-tone bracelet share the same color, so they never clash. Two simple rules keep it clean:

• Keep the bracelet thinner than the watch case, or close to the width of the watch strap.
• Pick a texture that differs from the watch bracelet. A rope or wheat link next to a flat steel watch strap looks deliberate rather than doubled.

Wearing a gold-tone watch? Then a silver-tone bracelet looks best on the other wrist, or choose one from our men's gold chain bracelets instead.

Silver-tone, black or two-tone?

Several models here also come in black or in silver-tone mixed with gold-tone or black. Black reads more casual and works well with dark denim and leather. Two-tone is useful if you wear both a steel watch and a gold-tone ring. Plain silver-tone stays the most neutral.

Sizing a silver-tone bracelet

Measure your wrist just above the bone and add about 0.5 to 1 inch for comfort. Wider links need a little more room than thin ones. Lengths in this collection go from 6.25 to 10 inches depending on the model, and some styles come in one length only, so check the product page before ordering.

Keeping polished steel looking new

• Rinse with fresh water after the sea, the pool or a workout and dry it.
• Wipe with a soft cloth to bring back the shine. Mild soap and warm water handle fingerprints and buildup between the links.
• Store it apart from other jewelry to avoid fine scratches on the polished surface.
• On black or two-tone versions, avoid abrasive cloths, since those colors are a plated finish.
