Station bracelets
Pearl tin cup bracelets
The same construction as our station necklaces, sized for the wrist.
Pearls set at intervals along a gold chain rather than strung end to end. Each one wired individually and finished by hand, built to order.

Choosing a bracelet length
Most wrists take a 7 to 7.5 inch bracelet. A station bracelet wears slightly looser than a strand, because the chain moves.
If you are between sizes, go longer. A station bracelet that sits a little loose shows the spacing between the pearls, which is the whole point of the style. Pulled tight it reads like a plain chain.
Measure by wrapping a strip of paper around your wrist where you would wear it, then add half an inch.
6.5 to 7 inch
A closer fit. Sits at the wrist bone with little movement.
7 to 7.5 inch
The most common size. Room to move without sliding over the hand.
7.5 to 8 inch
A relaxed drape. Good worn alongside a watch or a cuff.
Before you buy
What is a tin cup bracelet?
A bracelet with pearls set at intervals along a chain rather than strung end to end. Also called a station bracelet. The name comes from the 1996 film Tin Cup, where Rene Russo wore a necklace in the same style throughout.
What length should I order?
Most people take 7 to 7.5 inches. Wrap a strip of paper around your wrist where the bracelet would sit, mark it, measure it flat and add half an inch. If you fall between two sizes, choose the longer one.
Can I match it to a necklace?
Yes. Most of what we build as a bracelet we also build as a station necklace, in the same pearls and the same metal. Tell us what you are matching and we'll pull pearls to suit it.
Can I see the pearls before you build it?
Yes, and this is the part worth using. A tin cup is built from loose pearls, so the piece does not exist until you order it. Ask and we will photograph and film the exact pearls we would set for you, before anything is wired to the chain. Request it on any product page, at no cost and with no obligation to buy.
Want it to match a necklace?
Our specialists will pull pearls against a piece you already own and show you the match on camera. Most appointments run about twenty minutes.
