Bangles are mostly circular pieces of jewellery that are worn around the wrist by women. These accessories have adorned female hands for centuries. Stone-age women used to wear bangles carved out of wood or made out of baked clay. As times progressed, bangles were made using materials like glass, metal and plastic. Wooden bangles are still available today in various bright colours and are lightweight, unlike their earlier counterparts. Some are plain, while others have bold prints or abstract or floral designs.
Bangles that are made using precious metals like gold and silver are more valuable and often in higher demand than other materials. Bangles can add to the style and glamour of any outfit. Some are studded with gemstones, semi-precious stones or diamonds. Many are embellished with intricate designs and engravings which makes them all the more captivating.
Bangles can also made of white gold and platinum. They are more expensive because of the rarity of the metal, but look stunning. Other metals like copper, bronze and iron are also used to manufacture bangles. These bangles have a more rustic look. Some bangles are oxidised and look great when matched with a pair of oxidised earrings. Lac, a natural resin, is also used in making fashionable bangles that are popular worldwide. Shell, bone and bamboo are also used to make inexpensive but alluring bangles.
Wearing a selection of metal bangles together makes a pleasing clinking sound when they clash against each other. Apart from the regular round ones, modern bangles are also available in other more contemporary and unusual shapes. Some bangles have a touch of ethnicity while others are very fashionable and chic. Some have impeccable craftsmanship while others are designed to look more natural. A set of beautiful bangles is bound to add to your sparkle and attract attention.
