The bracelet, history,
milestones and the most popular types
Anyone who thinks the bracelet is a modern piece of jewelry is wrong.
Its roots go back thousands of years in history. The ancient Egyptians upgraded
their wrists with the delicate braid 7000 years ago. And we even know their
taste preferences.
Archaeological finds provide proof: the first bracelets were mostly
100% natural. Grasses, narrow branches and shells came together in small works
of art. Gradually, the bracelet took on a nobler note. Bronze and copper were
added to the jewelry trade.
The bracelet on the Greek wrist
The ancient Greeks liked to adorn themselves with cuffs - preferably
on the upper and forearms. The soldiers of the Greek army especially liked it
on their wrists. Wide leather and metal handcuffs adorned their uniforms. First
and foremost, they served as a protective shield. The overall impression of
manor was just right for the fighters.
The bracelet on the Roman wrist
The decorative leather and metal handcuffs of the Greek soldiers made
an impression, especially among the Romans. It was not for nothing that they
did the same as their ancient models.
The Romans also liked to decorate their wrists away from the
battlefield - the more pompous the better. Gold could not be missing, just like
an animal note. It is not without reason that golden coiled bracelets with a
snake look were winding around the arms of the distinguished society.
The bracelet on the Chinese
wrist
The ancient Chinese demonstrated at least as much attention to detail.
More than 2000 years ago they refined the bracelet with elaborate patterns,
inspired by nature, animals and mythical creatures. Her penchant for
extravagance was also reflected in the materials. It could be the noblest of
the noblest, preferably gold and jade.
The bracelet on the Indian
wrist
The Indian bracelet is one thing above all: colorful, eye-catching and
playful. Color is a must, zest for life is expressly desired. The Indians were
also more relaxed about the material. It did not always have to be gold, silver
or bronze, and metal and glass beads also had their effect.
The bracelet of European style
icons
In the mid-17th century, European women made the bracelet an indispensable
fashion accessory. Whether narrow ribbons, fine hoops or delicate chains - the
piece of jewelry played around the trend-conscious female wrist in a wide
variety of silhouettes.
Something has also changed in the number. The arm jewelry was no
longer alone. He often appeared in the company of several bracelets. Cameos,
medallions and engraved pendants also celebrated their triumphal march.
In the 20th century, the bracelet was more diverse and refined than
ever. For the first time, inexpensive materials such as Bakelite and plastic
nestled around the wrist. The bracelet became a piece of jewelry for everyone.
For the first time, the flowing jewelry was also visible on the male
arm. Link
gold chain with cross were neither
too narrow nor too feminine for masculinity.

tennis bracelet, the noble
