Derived from the Latin word “brachile” which means “of the arm” and further derived from the Old French word “barcel”, a bracelet is an ornamental band or chain encircling the wrist or arm. The history of bracelets dates back to Ancient Egypt and throughout Africa and China about 7,000 years ago. During those earlier times, materials that were used in the creation of bracelets were woods, stones, plant fibers, bones, and other natural materials. Later on, other materials such as bronze, copper, and gold embedded with precious and semi precious stones became popularly used in the manufacture of bracelets.
Throughout the years, bracelets were manufactured in various designs and were used for various purposes. Popular among Egyptians and the Romans, for example, are twisted coil bracelets with animal heads such as wolves and lions while popular among Indian women are colorful beaded bracelets with various metals or glass that were worn to signify matrimony. Alternatively, jade and gold bracelets with elaborate designs and images of dragons, phoenixes, and other animals are popular bracelet designs among the Chinese. In Latin America, on the other hand, gold bracelets with a black or red coral charm in the form of fist commonly called Azabache bracelets are being worn on newborn babies to protect them from the mojo or evil eye which was believed to be the result of excessive admiration or envious looks by others.
Bracelets come in different types which one can choose from depending on the occasion he/she will be attending. One common type of bracelet is the sports bracelet which was popularized by Lance Armstrong in 2004 which are made of colorful silicone rubber. They were originally donned for charity for cancer patients and these days are popular among fashion aficionados. Tennis bracelets are also among the popular types of bracelets which are classic accessories suitable for casual and more formal wear. They are thin and flexible and quite comfortable to wear and are also usually made of precious stones and metals.
Aside from those two types of bracelets, the other three types of bracelets are bangles or cuff bracelets, charm bracelets, and friendship bracelets. Those bracelets that can be easily slipped over the hand and fit loosely on the wrist are called bangles or cuff bracelets that are often solid and circular. On the other hand, charm bracelets are a type of bracelet characterized by decorative pendants dangling from the said accessory. These bracelets are also often worn to signify important events on the wearer’s life. The most popular types of bracelet, alternatively, are friendship bracelets.
