The English word "bracelet" comes from the Latin word "brachium," which means arm. It is a loop of material closely related to chains or straps worn on the wrist or forearm.
Since ancient times, bracelets have served as decorative jewelry, along with anklets, earrings, necklaces, and rings. In many societies, gold bracelets are a sign of wealth and stature.
Bracelets are ornamental jewelry pieces that enhance the aesthetic appeal of the wrists and hands. Construction materials vary, but the prevailing ones includes metal, leather, cloth, and plastic together with embellishments such as jewels, rocks, wood, shells, and crystals.
The history of the bracelet is a largely debated topic. However, archeological discoveries have given us some clues regarding the earliest forms of bracelets.
Early Bracelets
The wearing of jewelry for adornment and ritual started as far back as 7,000 years ago based on archeological findings in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China. Early bracelets featured grasses, slender tree limbs, and shells, before transitioning to copper and bronze.
Ancient Egypt
By the time of the First Dynasty (2680 B.C.), Egyptians wore bracelets made of gold and silver, decorated with semiprecious stones. Skilled goldsmiths of the New Kingdom (1558 to 1085 B.C.) constructed inlaid designs made of African gemstones.
Mediterranean Influences
Greek soldiers used wide leather and metal cuffs as part of their dress. Well-dressed Romans adopted the idea of cuffs into coiled gold bangles that resembled snakes. Mediterranean jewelry spread across Europe, but bracelets fell out of favor, especially among men, as Europe transitioned to the Middle Ages (A.D. 476 to 1450).
Asian Artistry
Artisan cuffs and bangles carved from jade, gold, and other metals existed in China as early as 2000 B.C. The ancient Chinese valued gold bracelets etched with elaborate patterns of nature, animals, and mythical creatures.
European Revival
European women rejuvenated the use of bracelets as an everyday fashion accessory in the 17th century. They wore several ribbons and thin bangles at a time.
20th Century
Bracelets became more affordable as mass production of fashion jewelry boomed. By the 1920s, the ornate designs of the late 19th century gave way to the clean lines of the Art Deco period. Designers added Bakelite and plastics to jewelry in the 1930s.
21st Century
Silver became the most common material for bracelets, cuffs, and bangles thanks to the mass production of silver jewelry, which was less expensive than gold but still had that precious metal appeal.
Today, it is hard to locate fine jewelry bracelets because most manufacturers use cheaper materials. At GraciousRose.com, you can choose from over 3,500 authentic gold, diamond, silver, gemstone, and platinum bracelets. Even if nothing catches your eye, custom-made pieces are available!
