A Guide to Jewelry for Individuals with Limited Mobility

 

For people dealing with limited mobility, wearing jewelry can sometimes feel like a bit of a challenge. The good news is, designers have been getting creative and innovative to make jewelry work for everyone. In this blog post, we're diving into some tips that'll help you pick and enjoy jewelry that suits your style while considering your mobility needs.

Go for Easy-On, Easy-Off

Regular clasps and fasteners can be a bit tricky for people with limited mobility. Instead, think about jewelry with adjustable features. These pieces are easy to put on and take off, needing just a bit of effort while making sure your jewelry stays secure.

Slip-On Bracelets and Bangles

Slip-on bracelets and bangles don't need any clasps at all. They slide onto your wrist, giving you an easy option. Look out for ones with adjustable bands so you can customize the fit.

Get Flexible with Materials

Jewelry that's made from stretchy and flexible materials, like silicone or elastic cords, can be your new best friend. Stretchy bracelets and necklaces can be stretched to fit over your hand or head – no need for fiddly clasps. Plus, they move with you and feel comfortable.

Light as a Feather

Heavy pieces can strain your muscles and joints. So, lean towards lightweight designs. They're easy on your body while still enhancing your look. 

Adjustable Extender Chains

Necklaces and bracelets with adjustable extenders mean you don't have to twist and turn to fasten and unfasten them. You can also adjust the length to make them comfortable and easy to take on and off.

Show Off Your Style

Remember, limited mobility doesn't mean you have to give up on wearing jewelry. Whether it's adjustable closures, slip-on styles, or pieces made from light materials, there are a variety of options that will let you show off your personal style.
