Bracelets – History, Meaning, and Rockabilly Style

Being a true lady implies that you will always pay attention to every detail, with a special focus on jewelry. Therefore, bracelets are probably an important part of your everyday combinations.

The word “bracelet” is from French language and, literally translated, it means “arm ring”. Although it is mostly regarded as an ornament and fashion detail, bracelet is actually an important and interesting, history-rich item.

At first, bracelets were worn not only for aesthetic purposes, but for religious reasons as well. The oldest bracelet is worn in Southern Mesopotamia around 2500 BC, while it was also worn in Egypt around 2000 BC. However, newer studies show that bracelet could be worn in Egypt in 5000 BC! How amazing! Bracelet went through a personal evolution, changing its purpose, looks and materials. At first, it was made of bones, and later came the leather, cloth, wood, metal etc.

In different cultures, bracelets have different significance. In Greece and Bulgaria, for example, women wear special bracelets in order to please spring goddesses and make spring come sooner. In India, there’s something more than a belief related to the bracelets – it is considered that bracelets (as well as anklets) stimulate the acupressure points of the uterus.
