What are bracelets, exactly?
Bracelets are small ornaments that are worn on the wrists or upper arms. When worn above the elbow, these are known as armlets.
Bracelets have been worn for a long time, but their style has evolved significantly.
Bracelets have been worn by Indian civilization since the 6th century.
A variety of materials can be used to make bracelets.
Cloth, Metal, Rocks, Wood, Shells & Stainless steel is a popular choice.
Silicon is now used by Nike and Lance Armstrong. They're also used for medical and identity purposes.
Here's how it works:
Bracelets are worn by patients with allergies, diabetes, or a history of heart disease. Identifying these patients in an emergency can be difficult, and these bracelets can be extremely helpful in saving a patient's life.
Wristbands, bangles, and necklaces are less popular than bracelets.
They are easy to make at home and inexpensive to buy commercially.
Children and teenagers are more likely to wear friendship bracelets. They are exchanged as a token of friendship.
Embroidery threads or wool are commonly used. They are not to be removed voluntarily, according to tradition, because any intentional removal will result at the end of a friendship.
They need to fall off on their own.
Sex bracelets are another type of bracelet that is gaining popularity.
Every day, new types arrive, each conveying a different message ranging from romance to sex.
Ankle bracelets have been and continue to be used in prisons. They've been used on the ankles of criminals on probation, particularly in Pima County Superior Court.
Bracelets
A bracelet is a piece of jewellery or clothing that is worn around the wrist. Bracelets are made of cloth or metal, and occasionally include rocks, wood, and/or shells.
Allergy bracelets and hospital tags are examples of bracelets that are used for medical and identification purposes.
Snap bracelets, which were felt-covered metal bracelets that curved around one's wrist when gently hit against it, were a popular fad in the late 1980s.
The Yellow Livestrong band, created by Nike and Lance Armstrong, popularised the use of coloured silicone rubber as a material for sports bracelets.
Because of its success, these "awareness" bracelets are now being used as low-cost tools for information campaigns and charity projects.
Other names for these sports bracelets include 'baller id bands,' 'wristbands,' and 'baller bands.'
Tennis bracelets are thin diamond bracelets with a symmetrical diamond pattern that are worn in line.
According to Diamond Bug, Chris Evert, the former World No. 1 woman tennis player and 18 Grand Slam singles champion, was competing in the 1987 U.S. Open.
She was wearing an elegant, light in-line diamond bracelet that broke accidentally, and the match was called off to allow Chris to retrieve her priceless diamonds.
The "tennis bracelet" incident gave the item a new name and sparked a massive jewellery trend.
Tennis bracelets were still worn by players such as Serena Williams and Gabriela Sabatini.
Despite the fact that the terms are technically similar, the term "armlet" is used to refer to an item worn on the upper arm.
The term "bracelet" comes from the Latin "brachile," which means "of the arm," and is derived from the Old French "barcel."
Bracelets is a slang term for handcuffs when used in the plural.
Wristbands
Wristbands are encircling strips worn on the wrist that can be made of a variety of materials depending on their intended use.
The bracelet-like band of a wristwatch, the cuff or other part of a sleeve that covers the wrist, or decorative or functional bands worn on the wrist for other reasons are all examples of the term.
The loops of plastic or Tyvek that are placed around the wrist for identification purposes (demonstrating the wearer's authorization to be at a venue, for example) are a common type of wristband.
Wristbands Made of Silicone
Wristbands, often made of silicone, have recently become popular as a way to show support for a cause or charitable organisation, similar to awareness ribbons.
To distinguish them from other types of wristbands, such wristbands are sometimes referred to as symbols.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation's yellow Livestrong wristband, created in 2004, was one of the first charitable organisations to use silicone wristbands as a means of demonstrating support for a cause.
Many charities, including Make Poverty History and the BBC's Beat Bullying campaign, adopted symbols by early 2005.
There's also a type of wristband known as a Web band. It's a virtual replica of the real wristband.
