Metal bracelet

Perhaps the most popular jewelry on the hand is a metal bracelet.. It does not require special care, is easily combined with most clothes and every woman can afford it.

Metal bracelets appeared in the Bronze Age. Since then, this type of jewelry has been leading its history, remaining essentially unchanged: they are still popular with women, and craftsmen are still endlessly inventing new patterns and intricacies.

These accessories are not just for the wrist. Women's models are worn both on the ankle (such jewelry is also called "anklets"), and on the shoulder - with an open dress.

According to the type of material used, bracelets can be divided into jewelry and bijouterie.

Metal bracelets have their own classification. They are:

1. hard
2. Soft

• Rigid ones are most often ring-shaped and hold their shape well. They can be closed (they are put on by sticking through the entire brush) or open (such models are often called "staples"), which are not completely closed ring. They are put on immediately on the wrist, because. they may expand slightly. In general, staple jewelry usually “sits” quite tightly on the hand, while closed ones can hang freely.

• Soft metal bracelets - these are chains of various weaves, gliders (beads or pendants of different types interconnected), woven (for example, from thin chains) and accessories made of metal beads strung on an elastic band.

The soft ones also include composite jewelry - well-known and popular Pandora. The bottom line is that a simple thin base bracelet made of leather, silver or another metal is purchased and charms are bought on it - special large beads that are made of a wide variety of materials - silver, gold, Murano glass, enamel - there are a lot of options.

Accessories on the hand of an Italian company Nomination are also quite soft - they stretch, although they have a rigid shape. Such decoration is type-setting, i.е. when purchasing a bracelet, the buyer himself chooses which links will be combined in it. You can also purchase a base, and then collect links on it. Many girls buy links or charms in different cities and countries - they get an accessory that reminds them of pleasant travels.

Today's trends dictate us extremes: the bracelet should be either modest or catchy. In the collections of designers there was a place for all metal options: wide, narrow, precious and very inexpensive - you need to select an accessory based on the overall image.

• Wide metal bracelets (sometimes called "cuffs") look best with modest, solid-colored clothes. However, this is an elegant evening option, because. This accessory is sure to grab attention. Cuffs are best worn not solo, but in combination with a thin decoration of the same color on one hand. You can complement the wide accessory with a watch on a narrow strap. Wearing cuffs on two hands at the same time is a sign of bad taste.

• The "transformer" is very relevant today: an accessory that can be worn on the arm and, for example, around the neck. If the length and design of the product allow it, for example, you can wear jewelry on your arm during the day, and wear it as a necklace or beads in the evening.

• A fashionable combination today is metal and leather. Designers “play” with these two textures in any way they like: a metal bracelet with leather straps, a leather base with metal inserts, lacing, etc. Grunge aesthetics are at the peak of popularity again: "cuffs" with studs and studs on a rough leather base.

• Returned to fashion and ethnics. A copper or brass bracelet (natural, slightly reddish) with antique patterns (such as Greek motifs) will help create a bohemian look. But to add mystery to the bow, narrow ethnic bracelets are suitable: several at once, worn on one hand.

• A bracelet with an insert will help express individuality. It can be a stone that you like - precious or simple, glass, other metal. The main thing is that it contrasts with the base and matches the style of your outfit.
• As a memorable gift for a loved one or for a couple, a bracelet with an engraving plate is perfect. Usually this is a chain with a fairly wide plate. They are made of silver or any other metal. The master engraver can engrave in this place initial letters or any other text that he would like to keep in memory.

• Such jewelry looks very relevant not on a banal chain, but on a leather (solid or woven) strap. For example, a black strap is a silver insert, brown is gold or gold.
• For those who know how to decorate metal on their own, blanks are sold, most often from brass. It can be a ring, a bracket, a chain. Such a blank can be decorated with engraving over the entire surface, stones, painting and other possible ways. Homemade bracelets are often so luxurious that they look more expensive than haute couture jewelry.
