Silver bangels

A silver bangle is an article of hardened jewelry that is worn around a person’s wrist. Bangles are most often manufactured out of one continuous piece of sterling silver and come in a variety of sizes to suit various wrist dimensions. Bangles can come with or without a clasping mechanism.

The bracelet or bangle has a long history in ancient cultures. The term “bracelet” is from the Latin ‘brachile,’ meaning “of the arm.” Silver bangles have been worn by nobility and royalty for centuries and it is only in the modern day that the general public has had access to such accessories.

Unlike silver chains, which are a combination of links, silver bangles are one continuos piece of metal that lies rigid against the skin. They can be of a simple, plain design, or can be accompanied by charms and pendants.
