Bracelets are one of the most loved pieces of jewellery in the world. They have been used by women for thousands of years. There are so many shapes, styles, and sizes of bracelets from a basic thread tied around the wrist to shimmering gold bangles. From school to birthday parties to large weddings, there is a bracelet that is just right for any occasion.
We believe at Dishis Designer Jewellery that every woman deserves to wear beautiful. And bracelets? They’re the simplest ways to put a little sparkle in any outfit. In this blog, we are going to talk about the different types of bracelets for women. We will be breaking it down into simple words so that even a child can understand it! Let’s dive in.
1.Bangles — The Classic Round Bracelet
It is likely that you’ve seen bracelet bangles the most. They are solid, round and you place over your hand on your wrist. When they move your hand, they have a wonderful clinking noise and that is really one of the nicest things about them!
There are a host of materials that can be used for bangles:
• Gold or Silver — These are the most popular and are worn at festivals and weddings.
• Glass — Glass bangles are available in many colors such as red, green, blue, and pink. They’re quite beautiful, but can crack if dropped.
• Plastic or Acrylic — These are inexpensive and entertaining. Children enjoy them due to their wonderful array of bright colours!
• Lac Bangles — These are traditional Indian bangles that are crafted using a substance called lac. They may be embellished with mirrors and coloured beads.
People in India and Pakistan especially love wearing bangles. Women often wear layers of bangles on both wrists. The more the more, the merrier!
2. Chain Bracelets – Simple and Stylish
Chain bracelets are what they’re called for – a bracelet created from a chain! They are thin, light and very classy. These can be worn daily and not too heavy or too much.
There are various types of chain bracelets:
• Link chains — oval or square loops that are connected together.
• Box chains — These resemble small boxes chained together.
• Rope chains — These are twisted and resemble a small rope.
For women who prefer simple and clean jewellery, gold and silver chain bracelets are a favourite choice. Many can be layered on one wrist or just one may be worn at a time. This is known as “stacking” and it’s pretty hot! Chain bracelets are also great as gifts. It’s a very sweet kind of gift to give, a simple gold chain bracelet with a small charm or name tag.
3. Charm Bracelets — Tell Your Story
Charm bracelets are extremely fun and also really individual. They are bracelets with small hanging decorations (called “charms”) attached to them. A charm can have a special meaning, such as a heart for love, a star for your dreams, and a little book if you love reading. Over the years many people find charms and incorporate them into their bracelet. So, after all, the bracelet’s a little bit of your life story!
Charm bracelets are hugely popular among girls of all ages. Little girls enjoy wearing them because they look cute. The older women enjoy them because they have memories. Charms come in the form of everything from animals to food, flowers to numbers, letters to even tiny shoes! The best part is that you can continue to add more charms as long as something special happens in your life.
4. Cuff Bracelets — Bold and Beautiful
Cuff bracelets are belt-like bracelets which are open and loop around the wrist. They do not completely encircle to form a circle (small gap between them). All you have to do is press them down on your wrist and they remain in place. Those who have a keen interest in style, will find that cuffs are a great choice for women. They have an aura of strength and self-assuredness.
They can be found in:
• Plain metal — A basic gold or silver band is very elegant.
• Engraved Designs – There are also cuffs with nice designs which are engraved.
• Gemstone cuffs – These feature diamonds, rubies, emeralds or other gemstones set in. They’re as if they’re from a fairy tale!
Cuff bracelets are ideal for parties, evening events, or any time you want to look extra special. Just one cuff can change the whole look of your outfit.
5. Tennis Bracelets — Full of Sparkle
Tennis bracelets are for the diamond and shine lover! A tennis bracelet is a thin bracelet featuring a single row of gemstones around it. These stones are typically diamonds, but they can also be sapphires, rubies, emeralds, or any other beautiful stones. The term ‘tennis bracelet’ is a quirky one. A famous tennis player, Chris Evert, lost her diamond bracelet in a tennis match in 1987. She called a time-out to search for it! From then on, everyone began referring to this style as a “tennis bracelet.
Tennis bracelets are extremely fragile and beautiful. They capture the light and shine in crazy ways. These are typically worn at special events, weddings or fancy dinners. But some women adore them so they can wear them every single day! Dishis Designer Jewellery has some brilliant tennis bracelets with stunning diamonds, which will make your wrist look absolutely magical.
6. Beaded Bracelets — Colorful and Fun
Beaded bracelets are those created using small beads on a piece of string or elastic band. They are one of the most colorful and playful bracelets you’ll see.
Beads can be made from:
• Gemstones —
Such as rose quartz, turquoise, amethyst, or tiger’s eye. Many people think that these stones are lucky or good energy.
• Wooden beads —
These are natural and earthy looking beads.
• Glass beads — These beads are shiny and colorful, they make bright and pretty bracelets.
• Seed beads —
very small beads for creating patterns and designs.
The bracelets are often handmade, adding to their specialness. A lot of individuals even create these at home as a hobby! Those who have ever knotted a bracelet with a friend with colorful threads or beads will understand the fun. People also wear gemstone bead bracelets, as they believe that these stones can help them feel calm, happy or strong.
7.Kada -The Strong and Traditional Bracelet
A Kada is a quite thick and heavy bangle, typically fashioned from gold or silver. A bracelet that resembles a bangle but is much thicker and stronger. Kadas has a very long history in India’s culture. Many traditions have emerged in India where a gold Kada is gifted to the woman on the day of her marriage or on special occasions such as Karva Chauth or Diwali. It has been deemed extremely auspicious, or lucky and holy.
Kadas can be:
• Plain and smooth —
Simple and classic looking.
• Decorated with designs —
With flower, leaf, or geometric patterns carved on them.
• Set with stones —
Some kadas have small diamonds or colored gems on them for extra beauty.
A gold Kada is more than jewellery, it is a tradition, a blessing, and a memory to be passed on through generations.
How to Choose the Right Bracelet for You?
With these many types of bracelets in mind, how to choose the proper bracelet? Here are some simple tips:
