Women’s Bracelets : A Look At The Main Types
Saturday, September 3rd, 2011Women’s jewelry can be a surprisingly complicated business: different items of jewelry have different meanings and everyone has different tastes. Bracelets are no different, which is why we have put together this guide to take you through some popular types of bracelet. We start with the chain bracelet. This is a relatively simple item of jewelry, generally made out of links of metal – usually silver or gold. The links can either be fine or chunky and they are bought together into a delicate bracelet.
Lots of women also really love charm bracelets. These bracelets can easily be tailored to individual styles, which make them very popular. This is done by customizing them with lots of little charms, which are attached onto a simple chain bracelet. For example, shapes such as hearts are popular but there are also other more complicated charms available, such as mini photo frames. With so many different charms to choose from, this bracelet can be anything you want it to be.
Bangles are also really popular. These are different from most other women’s bracelets in that they are sturdy and are often designed to be slipped over the hand, rather than fastened around the wrist – although it is possible to get some that open out and then clip on. Bangles are often bands of metal, normally silver or gold. They can either be plain or they can have engravings on them, and sometimes they have stones such as rubies or diamonds set into them for added sparkle.
The tennis bracelet is a bracelet that many women dream of. It gets its name from a tennis player who, during a tennis match, lost her diamond bracelet. They are commonly made with diamonds but they can also use other precious stones such as pearls, which are then set into metal and linked together to make a chain. This then fastens around the wrist; at a distance they can look quite ordinary but they are actually very expensive. Many women say they are their dream jewelry item.
Amongst women, sport and charity bracelets are also becoming increasingly popular. These are bracelets that are related to a good cause and they are usually inscribed with a message that shows support for the relevant cause. Typical causes supported include breast cancer and other diseases. These bracelets are usually made out of rubber or plastic and are made easier to put on by being slightly stretchy. Their aim is to raise money and their bright colors help to show support.
