Occasions are for Bracelets

Bracelets -- they've been worn since the beginning of time and still are to this day. In ancient times, bracelets often held religious meaning or denoted a wearer's social status. Today, bracelets can still hold meaning and significance, although often bracelets are worn as a simple fashion statement. Let's take a look at some of the most trendy and popular bracelet styles.

Jelly bracelets were highly popular in the 1980's and have shown a resurgence in today's society. They are made from a soft rubbery material and come in every color of the rainbow, including clear. To wear them the right way, pile them on! The best thing about jelly bracelets is their price -- they're incredibly cheap. While we're on the subject of the 80's, let's discuss another vintage trend -- cuffs. Arm cuffs are worn around the wrists and can be fastened with Velcro or snaps. Cuffs are normally quite wide and often feature bright or eye-catching ornamentation, colors or patterns. Some arm cuffs, or bands, are made from stretchy terrycloth material.

Maybe you're looking for something a bit more classic. If so, you're in luck! One of the most popular and traditional types of bracelets is the diamond tennis bracelet. Diamond tennis bracelets can be a row of pure diamonds, or feature gold designs in between each diamond. These types of bracelets can be incredibly expensive. Luckily, today's simulated diamonds are as beautiful and lasting as the real thing.

Another hot bracelet trend is the bangle. Although some bangles have hooks or clasps, many of them simply slip onto the arm. Bangles can come in gold or silver and are often worn in bunches on one or both arms. Most bangles are skinny in width, but you can find wide bangles as well. Not all bangles are gold or silver. Some are crafted from alternative materials like wood, plastic or stainless steel.

Pearl bracelets are popular these days as well. They add a classic Victorian flair to any outfit and come in many different varieties. Most pearls are of the cultured variety, and come in many different colors like white, cream, pink, lavender and black. You can find pearl bracelets that are single strand, and those that feature multiple strands of pearls held together with a clasp.

Bracelets of all kinds make great gifts, for a friend, loved one, or even yourself! Rather than worry about what's fashionable, choose pieces that you enjoy wearing. This will ensure that you'll be happy with your choice for years to come!
