The name bracelets is derived from the Greek word “brachile” which translates to “of the arm.” In fact, the first known bracelets were worn sometime in 2500 BC in southern Mesopotamia by Sumerians. However, there have been numerous gold bracelets discovered which date as far back as 700 to 900 BC.
Found within ancient Mayan, Indian, and Roman ruins were bangle bracelets which are some of the oldest forms of jewelry and date as far back as 2600 BC but did not gain popularity and become a fashion trend till the mid-19th century. Throughout ancient times these bangles were made up of copper, glass, ceramic, shells, and stone. What gained popularity throughout the 1980s were plastic bangle bracelets, especially neon bracelets with fun and unique designs. Bangles hold a strong cultural significance within Indian culture, especially with Indian brides. The significance of the bangle bracelets varies between regions but overall these bangles serve as a symbol of luck and protection for the marriage.
