If you aren't already familiar with the bracelet, let me introduce you to THEE bracelet. Bracelets have been a staple accessory in our wardrobes for thousands of years. The first bracelets date back to approximately 2500 BC. They were worn by people in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome and were found at burial sites in Southern Mesopotamia.
In Ancient Egypt, men used bracelets to ward off enemies. Bracelets were charms used to protect against harmful spirits. In Grecian times, bracelets or "bracels" (Latin translation "arm") were worn as protectants in battle. During the Middle Ages, gold bracelets became very common.
A bracelet was seen as a sign of wealth. It was believed that jewelry should be presented in the afterlife as a form of payment into heaven. Therefore, bodies were buried or entombed with jewelry, specifically bracelets and necklaces.
At some point, women realized that wearing a bracelet looks great on the arm. "Voila" the birth of the modern bracelet adorned with rubies, pearls and made from a variety of materials. The 2025 woman knows that style representation is all about individuality. A curated bracelet collection can be comprised of whatever that women chooses.
