A bracelet is a unique piece of jewellery, as it can be possessed for both its jewellery value, as well as for its fashion appeal. Bracelets are available in gold, silver, platinum, copper, steel and sterling silver. With so much choice available, there is a bracelet for every taste, style and even budget.
The history of bracelets can be traced back to Roman times when glass and beads were used. Gold bracelets became popular during the Victorian era and interesting designs in the form of butterflies, birds and bees were seen. Later, bracelets became a fashion accessory and designs and styles varied hugely.
Bracelets in gold and silver have always been popular with men and women. Although gold bracelets with intricate designs have been mainly preferred by women, men generally prefer silver bracelets with emphasis on masculine and bold designs. The presence of other valuable gems such as diamonds on bracelets has become a trend among those that can afford it.
Copper bracelets have also been popular since ancient times but, today, in some countries, copper bracelets are used for religious and medicinal purposes. Bracelets from copper are not very expensive and they, too, come in various designs.
Charm bracelets for women are very popular. These thin bracelets are available in silver and gold are said to be a mix of style and fashion. Bracelets made from chunky stones and beads are also very popular these days. Turkish Evil Eye bracelets are made of beads and are very popular not only because they look good but they are also believed to keep any evil influence away from the wearer.
Bracelets are most commonly made from sterling silver and steel. Such bracelets are very popular with men and, as they are made from sturdy materials such as steel, are very durable and have a distinctive look. They are also quite affordable and they look good with any kind of clothing. Titanium bracelets have also gained popularity in recent years but are a bit more expensive.
Whatever your preference, you can be sure to find a bracelet to match your choice of design and price. Co-ordinating your bracelet with your outfit is still important to many women.
Proper care should be taken of bracelets. Some bracelets need to be kept away from water and certain chemicals. Take a look at the various designs and flaunt your style with the bracelet of your choice.
