Cushions And Hexagons On A Slider Bracelet
Three pave cushions sit across the front of this slider bracelet, separated by open hexagons that let light through between them. Mixing two different geometric shapes rather than simply repeating one is what stops a fairly wide centre panel from ever reading as a single solid block across the wrist.

Key Features
- Three cushion shaped pads are fully pave set, each squared off with softly rounded corners.
- Open hexagons sit between the cushions, leaving gaps that lighten the run of stones across the front.
- Short bar connectors bridge the panel out to the chain, keeping the cushions straight across the wrist.
- Smaller open hexagons continue on past the panel, carrying the same shape into the plainer sections.
- Adjustment comes from a bead on a box chain, with bezel set stones finishing the two loose tails.
Styling Suggestions
Three matched shapes in a row want a plain background, so wear this with solid colours rather than prints. It has enough presence for a reception or an evening function. Keep rings simple on the same hand so nothing competes with the panel.
FAQs
What is a cushion shape?
A square with rounded corners and gently bowed sides, named for the way an old pillow sits. Jewellers use it to soften a geometric outline, so it reads as less severe than a true square while keeping the same balanced proportions.
Why mix cushions with hexagons?
Repeating one shape three times reads as a row. Alternating two different shapes gives the panel a rhythm, and the open hexagons let light through where a solid connector would create an unbroken band of metal and stone. Alternating shapes is also what keeps the panel flexible.
Does a wide panel suit a slim wrist?
It does, because the front is broken into three rather than being one continuous width. On a slimmer wrist the three cushions span roughly the top of the arm and the chain carries the rest, which keeps the proportion balanced.
How tight should the slider be set?
Snug enough that the panel stays on top of the wrist, loose enough for the bracelet to turn a little as you move. Pulled fully tight the cushions stop sitting flat, which is when the panel starts to look wrong.
How do I clean three pave pads?
Give each cushion its own pass with a soft brush and warm soapy water rather than sweeping across all three, then brush through the open hexagons between them. Rinse and dry the bracelet completely before putting it away. Water trapped between open links leaves marks as it dries.
