The story of wristband….. cuff, bangles, bracelet
From around 2000 BC, Asian cultures have been crafting jade bracelets. It is said to symbolise wisdom, virtue and courage. Subsequently, in China the jade bracelet is more than just a decorative piece, it would be gifted to children in order to promote virtue, and also to protect them from harm. Further beliefs about the properties of jade include its healing properties for the kidneys and stomach; and that it helps people communicate with spirits that wander the earth as it would gold bangles were the prevalent bracelet style that could be found in India.
By the 1920s, the elaborate, ornate designs of the Victorian period gave way to the structured lines of the Art deco period, and then in turn to the curved, flowing lines of the Art Nouveau period. More plastics were added to jewellery in the 1930s, making bracelets more accessible for children and teenagers. Charm bracelets became extremely popular in the 1950s. Then, by the 1970s, there was more demand for variation. All kinds of styles were worn such as thin chains, statement cuffs, and delicate bangles.
Many bracelet designs, styles, and trends have continued into the 21st Century, such as the introduction of silver as the most common material for bracelets. The preference for silver as an alternative to gold or platinum is successful in large part due to it being comparatively inexpensive, and as more people are becoming involved in the eco-friendly movement, there has been more demand for bracelets that are eco-conscious, for example vintage or antique bracelets. A lot of people today wear bracelets that might have some meaning behind them, such as a social cause or something to signify friendship or commitment.
