My Mania with Fashion Bracelets

It may be true that we can trace bracelets as far back as five thousand years ago, when the Egyptians would put bracelets carved with Scarabs that signified rebirth on their mummies since one of their myth had a scarab for a god.  Now it may be also true that in Latin America, bracelets or a gold necklace with a red coral charm in the shape of a fist are put on newborns to ward off the evil eye, and that in India women wear bracelets to indicate their marital status, and it may again be also true that in Bulgaria a red or white string is tied around the wrist so that Baba Marta will make spring come, I personally do not believe in any evil eye and I do not care if anyone knows that I am married I just like to wear bracelets.

I love bracelets of every kind.  They can be silver bracelets, gold bracelets; they can be made of silicone, wood, shell, beads or even stones it makes no difference to me.  My all time, most favorite bracelets are the ones that have semi precious stones set in them and are very wide.  If they are rhodium plated silver or rhodium gold plated bracelets I think this is brilliant as the plating helps to protect and tends to let the jewelry keep its luster much longer.  I like them to have a secure locking clasp and they must be of good quality. 

I must admit that if I see a woman with a very unique fashion bracelet I will stop and comment on it.  Fashion bracelets that are made of silver are quite beautiful on a woman. To me nothing says hot lazy summer days than a woman wearing four or five silver fashion bracelets or bangles.  If the arm that the silver bracelets happen to be dangling from is tanned I consider that very classy.   

Is there anything more sophisticated than a well dressed woman wearing a couple of gold bracelets with gold fashion earrings going out on the town?  I think not.  Even a well dressed man wearing a gold or silver bracelet has a lot of appeal. 

Have you ever noticed little female babies wearing tiny gold bracelets?  Having grown up in a predominately Italian part of town I would often see them with their mothers and I remember thinking that when I had babies of my own they too would have their own gold bracelets.  

My two daughters did have one and to this day my youngest daughter who is now in her thirties still loves to wear bracelets.  Her style seems to drift more towards the silver bracelets and rings.  Her personality seems to suit her choice very nicely, still better yet are my two granddaughters who are quite the fashion divas although they are only five and seven.  They both insist on having their own fashion jewelry which includes several silver bracelets.   My sister in law has an fascinating charm bracelet that she wears on occasion.  Her charms all represent a specific event in her life and since she has had a full fun filled life it is very chock-a-block and I am sure that it is worth a few dollars the reason being that she loves her gold. 

Whatever you're motive or sentimental reason for having many bracelets never stop wearing them.  I believe that even if we are liberated women we can still be feminine.   I invite you to view our selection of fashion silver bracelets at www. Otraditionhandbag.com
