Origin

Although the term
may be technically the same, it means an object sitting on the upper shoulder: an arm ring. The origin of the term 'bracelet' comes from the Greek word 'brachile' which means 'arm', through the 'bracel' of Ancient France. The bracelet is also a small clamp or protector (arm shield used by the archer).

The meaning of culture and religion

The history of the Egyptian bracelet is as old as 5000 BC. It starts with materials such as bones, stones and wood to serve religious and spiritual interests. From the National Geographic Society, Scarab Scarlet is one of the most recognizable ancient Egyptian symbols. Beetle symbolizes rebirth and regeneration. Scarabura carved as jewelry and wrapped with a bandage of pure linen. The myth tells of the scarab god, Khepri, pushing the sun across the sky.

In 2008, Russian archaeologists from the Novosibirsk Institute of Archeology and Ethnology, working on the site of the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of Siberia, found small bone fragments from the young finger of a hominin adolescent, dubbed "female X" (referring to maternal mitochondrial DNA), or hominin Denisova. Artifacts, including bracelets, dug in caves at the same level are carbon-aged about 40,000 BP.

In Bulgaria there is a tradition called Martenitsa, which sometimes involves tying the red and white straps around the wrist to please Baba Marta for spring to come.

In Greece, a similar tradition, weaving bracelets of red and white thread on the first day of March and wearing it until the end of summer, is called "Martis" and is thought to help protect the wearer's skin from the powerful Greek sun.

In parts of India, the number and type of bracelet worn by a woman shows her marital status.

In Sikhism, a bracelet is one of the compulsory articles known as Five Virtues.

In Latin America, the Azabache Bracelet is used to protect against Mal de ojo, or evil eye. The evil eye is believed to be the result of excessive admiration or envy by others. Having a newborn baby wearing azabache (gold bracelet or necklace with black or red coral charm in the form of fist), is believed to protect them from the evil eye.

Taken in the plural,

Type

Alternative health bracelets

Alternative health bracelets, such as ionized bracelets, karmic bracelets, magnetic bracelets, Power Balance hologram bracelets, etc., are separate groups that are not distinguished by their design, but rather the beneficial functions claimed by their manufacturers and distributors. The Karma bracelet is made of wooden beads and may contain various charms, and is associated with bringing good luck and good karma to those who choose to wear them. No claims of effectiveness are made by manufacturers that have ever been proven by independent sources.

Bangles

Rigid bracelets, usually of metal, wood, or plastic, are referred to as bangle bracelets or bangle bracelets. They can be smooth, textured or arranged with stone. In India, glass bracelets are common. Made of ordinary glass about 3 to 6 millimeters ( 1 / 8 to 1 / 4 in), they are worn in groups so arm movements cause them to make a friendly sound like the chimes of wind bells. In India, it is also common that young people will wear a thin gold bracelet on their hands and ankles.

Beads bracelets

Usually made of loose beads with middle holes and connected with a rope or elastic rubber through a hole.

Charm bracelets

Charm bracelets bring personal charm: decorative pendants or knick-knacks that are a marker of the important things in the life of the wearer. In recent history, Italian charm bracelets have become trendy. While traditional charms dangle, Italian charm has individual pieces that are soldered flat to the surface of the link.

Link bracelet

Bracelet is made of connecting or connecting various or similar components or jewelry findings. Link bracelets can be made of various materials including metal and gemstones.

Slap bracelets

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, "slap bracelets" - curved flat metal strips that curved around one's wrists when gently crashing into them - were a popular trend. Often decorated in fluorescent colors and clear graphics, these bracelets can be found at cheap retailers. A rumor has emerged that the "slap bang" causes bleeding and stab wounds so it is no longer stylish.

Sports bracelets

The use of colored silicone rubber as a material for producing sports bracelets was popularized by Nike and Lance Armstrong through the Yellow Livestrong bracelet beginning May 2003. Their success has led to silicone bracelets being a high cost tool for a variety of awareness, information, and charity campaigns. This can be likened to the use of the awareness band for a similar purpose. The bracelet is also known as "baller band id", "baller bands" or "wristbands". They can also be referred to as rubber bands, silicone bracelets or gel wristbands.

Tennis bracelets

During the 1987 US Open, Chris Evert's diamond bracelet fell to court. He stated about this, "I dropped my tennis bracelet", and since then the diamond line bracelet has been called a tennis bracelet.
