Bracelets

Bracelet, the chic item which is worn around the wrist, is one of the most important items in jewelry collection. For those who want to look more beautiful and graceful, it is really the must-have. It is equally fashionable among women as well as men. There are different types of bracelets available in the market. According to the styles of the bracelets, I would like to classify them into 7 types: bangle bracelets, cuff bracelets, charm bracelets, chains & links, beaded bracelets, tennis bracelets and Identification ones.
The bangle bracelets are types of bracelets that have no opening and are formed as rings. They are simple but classic. Probably, they are the oldest form of jewelry, but they will never out of fashion.
Besides bangle, cuff is another classic bracelet style in the fashion scene. You can easily find cuff bracelets everywhere from the red carpet to the runway to the pages of every major fashion magazine. Compared to bangle, the cuff bracelets often have openings and feature equally easy slip-on styling.
Charm bracelets also have a set of dangling charms which the wearer could either pick one by one or as a set, attached to a chain/link. Generally speaking, the decorative charms are often the ones that can signify important things in the wearer's life.
Chain bracelets are considered as one of the most popular bracelets among people in trend. They are classic styled and easily available in the market along with a large variety. They are series of connected links which are typically made of metal.
Beaded bracelets, as the name shows, are ones with multi beads in an array of materials. You can find bead designs made of glass, wood, gold, silver, pearl, plastic, copper, ceramic, gemstones, etc. If you like, you can mix colors, shapes, and materials for a truly distinctive look.
Tennis bracelets are bracelets featuring an inline array of diamonds. Multi diamonds are usually held together by a clasp. Due to their luster and sparkle, they are expensive and extremely popular in formal occasions.
Identification bracelets are normally chain bracelets with a solid rectangle plaque on which the owner's name is engraved. According to the purity of the main metal and size of the plaque, they range in different quality and price. They can make special gifts and mark special occasions including graduation, date, birthday and so on.













Above is the simple list of the most common bracelet styles used today. Which style you like to wear on your wrist and add to your jewelry collection?
