Bracelet & Bangle [19]

Bracelets have been worn to guard against evil spirits or the harsh sun, outwardly represent marital status, and in hopes of encouraging winter to turn to spring sooner rather than later. Bracelets have evolved to be a fashion accessory, and even these often hold special meaning for the wearer. A bracelet is a type of jewelry that is designed to be worn on the wrist, typically featuring a chain or band with a clasp or closure. Bracelets can be made from a variety of materials, including metals, leather, and fabric, and can feature a range of decorations, such as charms, pendants, and gemstones. A bangle, on the other hand, is a type of rigid or semi-rigid bracelet that is designed to be slipped over the wrist, rather than fastened with a clasp. Bangles are often made from metal, wood, or other rigid materials, and can feature a range of decorations, such as engravings, etchings, and gemstones.
