How To Wear Torc Bracelets & Cuff Bangles

How to Wear Your Arm Ring

Wearing your first cuff bangle — how difficult can it be? If you're familiar with torc or cuff bracelets, you likely already know the basics. However, even if you're an experienced bangle wearer, it's important to always follow the proper procedure. Avoid repeatedly opening and closing your cuff bangle when putting it on or taking it off. Doing so will weaken the metal over time, leading to breakage. Plus, some bangles are designed to be so sturdy that opening and closing them for every wear isn't practical — or even possible.

⚠️ Read on to learn how to avoid THIS happening to your bangle! ⚠️

So how do you wear your first cuff bangle? In this guide, we'll explain the step-by-step process for safely wearing your first cuff bangle, which also applies to the torc bracelets available in our store.

Step 1 — Adjusting your cuff bangle: Most bangle enthusiasts will only need to do this once. To adjust it correctly, turn your wrist sideways and adjust your cuff bangle opening gap to barely fit the thinnest part of your wrist. Once this step is done, you shouldn't have to repeat it for subsequent wears.

Turn your wrist sideways, and adjust your bangle opening to barely fit the thin part of your wrist

Step 2 — Threading your cuff bangle: Turn your wrist sideways, and slowly push the cuff bangle opening gap onto the thinnest part of your wrist. For advanced bangle wearers, you can lightly push one of the bangle ends into the soft part on the bottom of your wrist and slide the other end over the top — this way you can have a smaller opening gap on your cuff bangle.

Slowly push the bangle opening onto the thin side of your wrist for wear

Step 3 — Securing and wearing your cuff bangle: Once the bangle is threaded onto your wrist, simply twist the cuff bangle opening towards the bottom of your wrist and go about your day. For first-time wear, you can also slightly mold the bangle for a better fit around your wrist — however, be careful to avoid accidentally changing the adjustment you made in Step 1 to the bangle opening.

Step 4 — Removing your cuff bangle: To remove your cuff bangle, simply twist the bangle opening gap towards the thin side of your wrist and remove the bangle in the same way you threaded it in Step 2. Easy!

A good rule to remember: your arm ring is meant to be gently shaped once and then left alone. Thread it on and off from the thin side of your wrist rather than prying it open each time — that's how a solid piece like this lasts for years.
