The word “bracelet” traces back to ancient Greece and roughly translates to “of the arm”. In the 1930s, plastic bangles and bracelets were common fashion accessories for teenage girls. The 1950s brought charm bracelets made of gold plated brass and sterling silver, but it wasn’t until the 1970’s that women demanded a wide variety of designs to be used as fashion accessories. It was at this time that men’s bracelets came back in fashion, most notably in sterling silver link chains. Early jewellery was made only from gold, silver, and precious stones. Today’s jewellery may be made from any material, including base metal, wood, glass, or plastic. ( Plastic? Lol, because it’s readily available ). That’s quite amazing I must say.
Bracelet, as it is widely known, is an article of jewellery that is worn around the wrist. It’s become part of a fashion statement for men and women alike. Depending on the occasion, there’s a bracelet to go with one’s outfit. Even in the absence of any occasion, there’s a bracelet that can be worn just because it can be (casuals). Bracelets can be worn as a pair (by lovers, friends, families or even siblings), it can also customizable to one’s preferred taste.
