Sterling Silver
bracelet is an article of jewelry which is worn around
the wrist. Bracelets can be manufactured from leather,
cloth or metal, and sometimes contain rocks, wood,
and/or shells. Bracelets are also used for medical and
identification purposes, such as allergy bracelets and
hospital patient-identification tags. Silver
bracelets, sterling silver jewelry from India for your
casual, formal and party wear. Eye catching designs from
16th and 17th century Rajasthan. They go well with
almost any kind of dress. The sheer variety of
bracelets in India is matchless. Bracelets have great
romantic and amorous connotation. A simple bracelet is
slipped on to the wrist by mere pressure, occasionally
over a thin coating of oil applied to the hand. Some
bracelets have a gap between the two ends from where
these are slipped on to the wrist from its side. In most
cases, the single tier bracelet, when hollow, is adorned
with repousse work motifs, and when solid, with
engraving. In two tiered bracelets, the outer rim is
usually adorned with additional lobes, pendants, and
jingle bells. The more handsome variety usually comprise
of a prominent pendant attached to a circular ring which
in turn may have further smaller pendants or other
decorative elements affixed to the outer rim. Often the
screw of the pin that locks the bracelet is itself a
highly decorative element, not distinguishable as a
separate part, but an integral component of the design
Our Customers' Views
* The merchandise I received was well
packaged and it arrived at my door step all the way from India in
less time than a few of the products that were shipped to me from the
US. The silk shawl was beautiful and my wife who is Indian loved it
very much. Small gesture from them but greatly appreciated in these
times when simple things get so badly screwed up.
* Looks even better than I thought. I do need to add this isshaped
like a book end (Flat-backed) rather than truly 3-D. But I still love
it!
* It's a beautiful wrap! I loved it. I got it quickly and for a great
prize.
