The first factor you have to be considering while choosing a mens silver bracelet is its length.
The length of a bracelet is its length from the tip of one end of the bracelet to the tip of its other end. (Inclusive of the clasp).

Standard size of a mens bracelet ranges from 8 inches to 8.5 inches.
After analyzing quite a variety of mens silver bracelets on amazon.com I see that the bracelets within this size range enjoy maximum five star reviews from using customers.
Generally, this size range in the men’s category will fit everyone. Then again, some wrists may either be larger or smaller than the standard size. Also, clasps in certain styles allow for minor adjustments in length by the wearer.

You can increase or decrease the length of most link bracelets using the services of a skilled jeweler. Preserve the spare links for future use if you happen to require them for repair of replacement. It can save you loads of money.
If you feel that your wrist is not within the normal range of mens bracelets you can easily measure your wrist for a bracelet.
Get a ruler or tape measure, and cut a piece of string measuring the exact length you’re contemplating for yourself and make a bracelet like loop of this string.

Wear this string. You will get you an idea of how the bracelet will look while wearing. Of course different designs of bracelets will fall differently.
You should also be aware that certain styles of clasps give you more room than others. Moreover, presence of adornments like pearls, gemstones etc may reduce room.

The second factor you will have to consider while selecting your bracelet is its width. In order to measure the width, place a scale or measure tape with millimeter calibrations on the bracelet and count the millimeter marks.
Generally, 1mm to 2mm width is wide as a strand of noodle or spaghetti. On the other hand, a 5mm to 6mm necklace is nearly wide as a pencil.
Mens silver bracelets cannot afford to look narrow, delicate & dainty as such bracelets look feminine. Mens bracelets range in width from 3mm to more than 10mm. Once again you will see that mens silver bracelets with larger widths enjoy maximum 5 star user reviews on amazon.com.

In any case bracelets with widths less than 1.5 mm are not recommended as they are too thin to be sturdy and durable. Bracelets and necklaces of highly expensive metals like platinum are an exception to this rule.
Also, wider necklaces are more noticeable from far and attract more attention.
Style of your bracelet also constitutes the presence of adornments like pearls, gemstones etc.
Similar looking white metals like Sterling Silver or Stainless Steel: |
Metals that look similar to Silver and are also commonly used to craft mens bracelets are white gold and stainless steel. You might also like to compare the properties, pros and cons of these two similar looking metals which are brought out as follows.
Sterling Silver | White Gold | Stainless Steel |
Pure silver, also called fine silver is very soft & jewelry made of pure silver would not retain their shapes. A small quantity of another metal is mixed with pure silver to lend it the desired hardness. Experience shows copper to be the best choice to improve the hardness and durability without effecting the color or luster. The alloy is called sterling silver. |
Similar to pure silver, pure gold to is too soft to be crafted into jewelry. Also, there is no such thing as 24k white gold because pure gold is never white, but the celebrated yellow. The white color is attained by adding a combination of other metals like Nickel, Manganese, Silver, Palladium, or even Platinum. The yellow color gets bleached in the alloy giving it a white hue. The use of Nickel has been minimized because of allergic reactions to the wearer. |
A special form of steel containing chromium and resistant to tarnishing and rust is called stainless steel. It is a mixture of steel (which is mostly iron) and chromium, a high polishing metal that is popularly known as chrome. |
Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver. Remaining 7.5% is copper. |
24k gold is almost 100% pure 18k gold is 75% pure ; 14k gold is 58.3% pure ; 10k gold is 41.6% pure ; 18K White Gold Is Composed Of: Either: Gold 75% + Platinum or Palladium 25% Or Gold 75% + Palladium 10% + Nickel 10% + Zinc 5% |
Minimum 10.5 to 11 percent (and upto 30%) chromium. |

White gold with higher karat value tends to be more tinted with the original yellow and is popularly plated with Rhodium to achieve the pure white hue. The hue of real gold lies veiled under the Rhodium plating.
Though a silver bracelet is generally less expensive than a white gold one, a high quality silver bracelet can be as expensive as or sometimes even more expensive than a white gold one.

Lower karat white gold is whiter, but again it is cheaper and can trigger allergies due to nickel content.
Stainless steel bracelets are obviously less expensive than silver bracelets. But, one can immediately make out the difference between the two metals due to the significant disparity in the luster, shine & the visibly darker-luminance of stainless steel.

As a matter of fact, choosing between silver bracelet and white gold bracelet (or a stainless steel one) is a matter of individual taste, preference, style and budget.
Personally, I would prefer a sterling silver one for myself.
