Men's Silver-Tone Curb Chain Bracelet

Silver curb chain bracelets: choose the width for your wrist and your watch

A men's curb bracelet goes from a fine 3 mm line to a 15 or 16 mm band. The right width depends on your wrist and on whether you wear a watch. This page is about that choice. Every bracelet here is silver-tone stainless steel or titanium steel; silver is the color, not the metal. For the length, see our guide on silver curb bracelets.

Width guide for a curb bracelet

By wrist size

A slim wrist carries 4 to 8 mm well; above that, the bracelet looks wider than the wrist. An average wrist handles 6 to 10 mm. A large wrist can go 10 mm and up without looking heavy. When in doubt, 8 mm is the width that suits almost everyone.

With a watch

• Same wrist: keep the bracelet narrower than the watch strap, 4 to 6 mm. The Cuban link bracelet in stainless steel in 5 mm is a good partner for a steel watch.
• Opposite wrist: you are free to go wider. The polished Cuban link bracelet in 10 mm balances a watch on the other arm.
• Match the metal: a silver-tone bracelet with a steel watch; avoid mixing with a gold-tone watch on the same wrist.

Clasp and comfort

A wide curb needs a strong clasp. The Cuban bracelet with box clasp has side locks; the silver Cuban link bracelet has a box clasp with a safety latch. The polished curb link bracelet closes with a lobster clasp. For all our wrist pieces in silver-tone, see men's silver chain bracelets.
