 How do you pick the best couple bracelets for your relationship?
 
 Below we'll go over what you should think about when purchasing a piece for yourself or to give as a gift.
 
 
 Shop according to Your Budget
 
 Before you explore the various choices available determine a reasonable budget and only look at styles that fit within that price range. This will help you narrow your choices. While gold-plated and diamond pieces are relatively expensive, there are plenty of affordable-yet-stylish designs for sale that cost less than $100 and some that are even less than $50.
 
 
 Find a Style That Suits Both of You
 
 While shopping, whether in a group or on your own, pick an outfit that appeals to both of you, something you and your partner will like to wear. Make sure that the style you choose also reflects your interests, personality, and even your love story. "We have found that our couples prefer classic pieces that don't seem too delicate or heavy on diamonds," says celebrity jewelry designer Stephanie Gottlieb. If you're unable to find a piece that you like, Callan recommends choosing custom pieces that allow you to change the color, metal or gemstone, for instance.
 
 
 Consider the Metal
 
 You'll want your couples bracelets, just like your wedding rings should last for as long as long as possible, reflecting your union. To ensure that your bracelets don't break or tarnish, especially if your lifestyle is more active, it's recommended to invest in higher-quality metals. Gottlieb states that gold and platinum are materials that can be able to withstand wear and tear. They'll last for a long time unlike the thread or string on a beaded wrist.
 
 
 Personalize your touch
 
 There's nothing wrong with opting for a traditional minimalist design, but incorporating personalization will make your couple bracelets even more meaningful. Callan suggests that you emboss or emboss a date, phrase, or a pet name on your couple bracelets. You can also emboss your initials or last name on the bracelet. For a slight variation in appearance, you and your partner can also customize the band in your own way, so the accessory better matches your personal style and preferences, as per Gottlieb.
 
 
 Consider Your Wrist size
 
 If you and your partner have different sizes of wrists you should choose bracelets available in different sizes, include an extension or can be adjusted manually.
