Bourbon and Boweties is an American jewellery brand known for stackable bangles, charm bracelets and gift sets, many of them adjustable or sized to slip over the hand. The appeal is building a stack of several pieces, so most orders are multi-item, and that shapes how you should buy and which code to use.
The things that decide whether a Bourbon and Boweties order goes well are size, how the pieces sit together, and the finish.
Getting the bangle size right
A solid bangle has to pass over the widest part of the hand, so size is about the hand, not the wrist. Bourbon and Boweties publishes a size guide; follow it rather than guessing from a bangle you already own from another brand.
To measure, bring your thumb and little finger together as if putting on a bangle and measure around the widest point of the hand. If you fall between sizes, the larger size slips on more easily but moves more on the wrist.
Adjustable and cuff-style Bourbon and Boweties pieces are the safer choice for gifts when you do not know the recipient's size. They open slightly and can be gently shaped to fit.
Building a stack
Bourbon and Boweties designs its bangles to be worn together, so think of a stack as one piece made of several. A good stack mixes widths: one or two thicker bangles, a few thin ones, and a charm or two for interest.
Keep the metal colours consistent unless you are deliberately mixing. Gold tones with silver can look intentional, but it works best with a clear pattern rather than random alternation.
Charm bangles are the personal part of a Bourbon and Boweties stack: initials, birthstones, symbols. Place them between plainer pieces so the charms are visible.
Stack size matters for comfort. Five or six bangles look full; ten can be noisy on a keyboard at work. Start smaller and add.
Plan the stack for the wrist it will sit on. If you wear a watch, a Bourbon and Boweties stack usually looks best on the other wrist, or with just one or two thin bangles beside the watch so the metal does not scratch the watch case.
Finishes and materials
Each Bourbon and Boweties listing states the metal and finish. Plated pieces give a gold or rose-gold colour at an accessible price; the plating can wear with time and contact with water, lotion and perfume.
If you have a metal sensitivity, read the materials line carefully and check with Bourbon and Boweties customer service before buying. Allergies to certain base metals are common.
Photos on any jewellery site can make colours look warmer or cooler than in life. Read the Bourbon and Boweties reviews for comments on colour and weight, since a bangle that looks heavy on screen may feel light in the hand.
Care and storage
Take bangles off before showering, swimming, exercising or applying lotion. Chemicals and chlorine dull plating quickly.
Wipe pieces with a soft dry cloth after wear and store them separately or in a pouch so they do not scratch each other. A Bourbon and Boweties stack kept on a bangle stand also stays untangled.
Gifting and sets
Bourbon and Boweties sells gift sets and themed collections, often for occasions such as Mother's Day, graduation or bridesmaids. A set is usually cheaper than buying the same pieces individually and arrives ready to give.
For bridesmaids and group gifts, order early and check that each piece comes in the right size. Personalised items may take longer to make and are often not returnable, so confirm the spelling before paying.
Where the Bourbon and Boweties savings are
The 30% code is the best general Bourbon and Boweties option on a mixed basket. On an order of $40, it saves $12, which already beats the $10 code.
The buy-two-get-one code is made for stack builders. On three bangles at the same price it works out to a third off, slightly better than 30%; where the free item is the cheapest one in the basket, the saving is smaller. Put three similar-priced pieces in the basket to get the most from it.
The $10 code is best on a single bangle or a small order below about $33, where it beats 30%.
Bourbon and Boweties accepts one code per order, and codes may not apply to sale items, gift cards or already-discounted sets. Check the discount line before paying.
