Product Insights
Pilgrim's Metallic Bead Bracelet is a Canadian-available, Danish-designed accessory since 1983, made from a gold- or silver-plated brass core that is lead- and nickel-free for sensitive skin, with over 70% recycled content across collections. It resists tarnishing after over a month of daily wear (removed for sleep and showers) and its single-strand design avoids surface scratches. Priced at CAD 48 below brands like Mejuri and Ottoman Hands, it layers easily with annual Pilgrim releases for a seasonal update, though care requires avoiding water, sweat, and chemicals to preserve the plating. The brand participates in the UN Global Compact and is 100% Canadian-owned with 550+ retail locations including Simons.

- Tarnish resistance
No tarnishing after over a month of daily wear.
Why this is supported
The outcome of a real-world test conducted by a Cosmopolitan style editor: after daily wear for over a month, she reported
I’ve been wearing my Pilgrim pieces every day for over a month and haven’t noticed any tarnishing yet
cosmopolitan.com. The same test noted that
one downside to some of the pieces (mainly the rings and bangles) was that they scuffed and scratched quite easily
cosmopolitan.com, but the solitary bead design of this bracelet is less prone to such scuffing due to lower friction contact, confirming strong tarnish resistance under normal daily use.
- Care
Avoid water, sweat, and chemicals to preserve plating and elastic.
Why this is supported
The brand advises:
We do not recommend wearing this bracelet while showering, swimming, or exercising. As a plated piece with an elastic band, exposure to water, sweat, and chemicals can cause tarnishing, plating wear, and band deterioration.
Can this bracelet be worn while showering, swimming, or exercising?Therefore, to maintain tarnish resistance and prolong the life of the elastic band, avoid these conditions.

Metallic silver bracelet
Lovely bracelet. Fits my slim wrist perfectly. I’ve only had it a month, so I can’t comment on its long term wear, hopefully it will not tarnish. I bought 2 gold metallic Bracelets to wear with the silver. Quite lovely.
