There are adornments for almost every body part \u2013 rings for fingers, earrings for ears, necklaces and pendants for the neck. And then there is jewelry for the hands, the wrists \u2013 bangles and bracelets. While bangles are more or less the exclusive domain of women, bracelets are more universal and unisex in nature.<\/p>\n

Bracelets were first made using nothing more than a few stones, shells and bones tied together with a string around the wrist. Over the centuries, bracelets have come a long way. While the original styles still exist in one form or another, newer styles, newer metals, stones and designs have come up to take center stage.<\/p>\n

Interesting Trivia: More than any other jewelry item, bracelets have been adopted by major jewelry brands as brand emblems. Metal, leather, as well as many other modern man-made materials feature in bracelets worn by men and women across the globe.<\/strong>

  1. Women\u2019s Bracelets:<\/strong> In most cases, women\u2019s bracelets are modified forms of bangles. However, while bangles are worn on both wrists, bracelets are meant to be worn on just one. Like men\u2019s bracelets, women\u2019s bracelets also come in a number of different styles and designs. These are far more delicate and stylish than men\u2019s bracelets and can often be studded with diamonds and gemstones.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        1. Fitness Bands: <\/strong>Undoubtedly the latest trend in health and fitness, these bands help health enthusiasts track their daily calorie intake and outtake, the steps they have walked and many other fitness related data.
