Design
Bracelets are round, and, unlike bracelets, inflexible. This word comes from Hindi bungri (glass). They are made of various precious and non-precious materials such as gold, silver, platinum, glass, wood, ferrous metals, plastics, etc. Bangles made of sea shells, which are white, worn by Bengali and Oriya married Hindu Women. A special type of bangle worn by women and girls, especially in Bengal areas, commonly known as "bangle Bengali", used as a substitute for expensive gold bangles, and produced by fixing thin gold strips (weighing between 1-3 g) is thermo-mechanical fused into bronze bangle, followed by manual crafting on a fused gold strip.
Bracelets are part of traditional Indian jewelry. They are usually worn in pairs by women, one or more in each arm. Most Indian women prefer to wear a gold or glass bracelet or a combination of both. Plastic cheap bracelets slowly replace the ones made by glass, but those made of glass are still preferred at traditional occasions such as weddings and festivals.
The designs range from simple to complex designs, often noble and semi-precious stones like diamonds, gems, and pearls. The set of expensive bracelets made of gold and silver makes a jingling sound. Imitation jewelry tends to make a loud noise when jingling.
Type of bracelet
There are two basic types of bracelets: solid cylinders; and split, the cylindrical cylinder opening/closing form. The main distinguishing factor between these is the material used to make the bracelet. This can vary from anything from glass to jade to metal to lac and even rubber or plastic.
One of the factors that add to the price of a bracelet is an artefact or work done further on the metal. This includes embroidery or small glass fragments or paintings or even a small ornament attached to the bracelet. The color lesson and its unique value also increase its value. Bracelet made of lac is one of the oldest and one of the most fragile. Lac is a resin material, secreted by insects, collected and formed in a hot burner to make this bracelet. Among the recent types are rubber bands, worn more like a wrist bracelet by children, and plastic ones that add a trendy look.
Typically, bracelets worn by people around the world are just an inflexible jewelery worn around the wrist. However, in many cultures, especially in South Asia, bracelets have evolved into different types where different ones are used on different occasions.
