Bangles are in fashion. Today jean clad girls wear it as style statement.
Given their appeal, designs, patterns, colors, musical tinkling and traditional value, bangles have survived the test of time. Bangles are considered to be fashion accessories that enhance the look. They are circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. Our bangles are made of non-precious materials such as glass, metal, wood, plastic etc. Bangles are part of traditional Indian jewelry. |
Indian Tradition- It is considered inauspicious, to have married women’s arms bereft of the bangles. Green and red glass bangles are auspicious for married women. In Maharashtra, women wear these on all important and special occasions in the family. Pregnant women are given green glass bangles to wear on both their arms thereby deflecting danger to her or the baby.
The only time that a married woman removes her bangles is either at labour while having a baby or when she is widowed. While the former is significant of an easy delivery, the latter has tragic connotations. That is why, when glass bangles break, it is thought to signify ill luck.
Beautiful arms with strikingly pretty bangles, are sure to get a second look.
There are two basic types of bangles: a solid cylinder type; and a split, cylindrical spring opening/closing type. The price of the bangles is the artifacts or the work done further on the metal. This includes embroidery or small glass pieces or paintings or even small hangings(charms) that are attached to the bangles. The rareness of a color and its unique value also increase the value. The plastic ones are there to add the trendy look. Normally, a bangle worn by people around the world is simply an inflexible piece of jewelry worn around the wrist.
