Old history of bracelet

Here's a quick rundown of the biggest trends in bracelet styles, from the Ancient Greeks to the Victorians, to today, with an emphasis on how ancient styles are still visible in today's hot fashion trends.
From ancient times, Bracelets, along with other jewelry like anklets, earrings, necklaces, and rings, were worn by the women to show off the wealth of their husbands. The earliest known bracelets hark back to 2500 BC, worn by the ancient Sumerians of Southern Mesopotamia. As such, they were a symbol of status - much like some jewelry is to this day.
Roman bracelets shared many of the design patterns of necklaces and earrings from that era. They often had religious connotations in addition to the perception of wealth and adornment. Engraved bangles and snake bracelets were very popular during Roman times. Bracelets made of twisted coil with lion head ends were common place, as were the two part bracelets ending with a pair of lion heads.
During the Georgian times bracelets remained popular, especially for men. Soldiers wore defensive bands of leather often decorated with gold, silver, and other gemstones on their forearms.
The history of bracelets spans ages, reaching up to the present time. Today a woman's fashion statement is what she likes, what she feels good in. So their bracelet wardrobes can be what ever they want. They have been crafted from different materials, and have always been popular - bracelets have varied according to dress styles and, of course, dictated by fashion. Wear a dainty gem set gold bracelet or an armful of clunky bracelets, which is very vogue this season.
