Bracelets, like many other jewelry, are divided into men's and women's. Each variety has its own characteristics.
Women's
To emphasize the grace and beauty of the female wrist, to complement the image and make it unique, as well as to become an assistant and a talisman - all this can be done with a silver bracelet.

With a chic evening dress, an elegant carved accessory in the style of ancient Greece will look great., especially if you choose the appropriate dress.
Large cast bracelets will help to dilute the everyday look. You can even wear several of them. Just make sure that they are in the same theme and put them on only one hand.
If you are a bohemian lady with a taste for vintage, vintage silver bangles are your choice.. They will add charm and mystery to your image. And it is not necessary to look for real antiques - in modern stores you can find jewelry in any style.
For young girls it is very important to emphasize their youth and tenderness. A thin chain bracelet will be your great helper in this. One of the novelties of the present time is the “two in one” accessory, when the chain, worn on the hand, is attached to the ring at one end. Such a tandem looks very organic and fashionable.
Men's
The strong half of humanity also did not ignore silver bracelets. Of course, the choice of models and varieties is not so great, but any man will be able to choose the right jewelry.
The history of men wearing bracelets dates back centuries. Once upon a time they had a symbolic meaning. Firstly, they helped the owner to win the battle, protecting his hand holding the sword. Secondly, they symbolized power, strength, tough masculine qualities. Thirdly, they gave self-confidence. To this day, looking at a brutal male wrist adorned with a stylish accessory, one can say with confidence that this man is confident in his strength and significance.
Here's what you need to remember when choosing a men's silver bracelet: its style, weaving and parameters must fully resonate with the hand that it will adorn, and of course, with the image in general.
On a thin wrist with long graceful fingers, thin bracelets with openwork weaving will look very organic. And for a massive, large hand, wide bracelets with large cast links are suitable.
Naturally, the style of clothing and lifestyle is very important. If you are a creative person who is always in search of adventure and new sensations, you can choose trendy accessories with inserts made of gold, rubber, leather, etc. For a serious businessman, choosing a laconic silver bracelet, for example, with classic weaving "Bismarck". In any case, do not forget that the decoration is intended, first of all, to decorate and complement the image, and not to enter into dissonance with it.
