For some who do not like to invest in wristwatches, bangles and bracelets are beautiful fashion accessories. To move a little bit further, they are thoughtful gift ideas.
The fun fact is, you can get them customized just for the occasion. So it would not have to be just a fashion item for you but also have a symbolic value.
In India wearing Bangles is more than fashion, it is necessary for married women. It is believed to be a symbol of the well being of the husband and son.
Bangles is from the word ‘Bungri’ in Hindi which means glass. Bangles were made from glass but now they are made from various metals and embellished with precious stones.
Bangles can be likened to a ring, only bigger. There are different types:
Solid cylinder Bangles: This is like the most recognized, if you watch Indian movies a lot, you would have seen this. This bangle is a continuous cylinder that slides over a person’s wrist.
Split Bangles: These ones have an opening and closing feature, though still rigid.
Cuff Bangles: Cuff Bangles do not have a clasp but are open at the bottom. When wearing, you just have to squeeze a little bit so it can sit well on the wrist.
Bracelets are absolutely different from Bangles, they can be worn by males and females. Bracelets are really flexible, they could be made from beads, gold, silver and honestly, we really feel bracelets are quite classy. They have a clasp so as to hook and unhook or elastic band.
Why you should care?
Beaded bracelets come in many colourful designs, you see why we think they are classy.
It is not only bangles that have symbolic meanings to those who use them. Some bracelets are symbolic depending on their design and the stones they are embellished with.
For instance, a bracelet designed with a square and compass logo set on a gold-tone all-seeing eye medallion represents the Freemasons.
Just like many bracelets are customized today for the purpose of adverts, to represent a company or an organization.
