Bracelets

Bracelets have been worn by people of almost all cultures since ancient times. Made of metal, bones, leather or ceramics, a bracelet is an eye-catching piece of jewellery, which comes in an array of different types. A finely crafted bracelet emanates subtle grace. A richly and opulently decorated bracelet catches everybody's attention. In Israel and Algeria archeologists have discovered bracelets made of mussels, which are more than 100.000 years old. And richly decorated gold bracelets were crafted by the Syrians already in the 5th century BC. It addition to their undoubted decorative function, in earlier times bracelets were used to protect wrist joints from injuries. Men's jewellery, which still frequently tends to be made of robust materials and looks rather massive, embodies vigour and strength. hide info
