Bracelets
Bracelets have been around forever. In fact, a bracelet made out of green stone discovered in a Siberian cave dates back no less than 40,000 years, according to experts. They’ve been worn as accessories around the wrist and they’ve been worn as status symbols. And during hard times, they’ve even been worn as protective arm guards. There are a plethora of types of bracelets out there: from sleek minimalist bangles to statement cuffs and intricate and ornate pieces adorned with charms, pearls, gemstones, and amulets. Each making a statement in its own way. Each expressing a certain aesthetic, each symbolizing a certain style, representing a certain subculture, and each with its own tradition and origin.
