Forearm bracelet
In the summer, girls are often looking for interesting and beautiful jewelry that could complement the image and become its main highlight. Modern designers present a large assortment, among which you can find the most suitable jewelry. Recently, in the top fashion trends, the bracelet on the forearm is gradually returning. This is a stylish accessory demanded among young girls and one of the ways to emphasize the individuality of its owner.
Peculiarities
The shoulder bracelet has a rich history, but it is not known exactly when and by whom it was first created. Initially, it was an exclusively male adornment, but soon it smoothly migrated to the female costume jewelry set. This accessory was most widespread in Indonesia, Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece.
Interestingly, this decoration is found in almost every culture and everywhere it has a different meaning. Somewhere it was a symbol of the nobility, but somewhere, on the contrary, the brand of the poor. For the first time, such a bracelet was used as everyday jewelry by fashionistas in Europe at the beginning of the 19th century. The more skillfully it was made and the more precious stones were used in its manufacture, the more prestigious it was considered.
This bracelet is currently a unisex option. It is worn above the elbow, closer to the shoulder. Among women, it has gained particular popularity due to its wearing comfort and diversity, which is presented more interestingly by the modern, which attracts more and more attention from urban fashionistas. This is a great option for the summer when the girl does not need to wear clothes with sleeves.
Most often, this bracelet is made from materials such as gold-plated or silver-plated metal, plastic and copper.An accessory usually does not have a dimensional grid, and it is produced either in one size, or dimensionless - with a special jumper that will help, if the owner wishes, to make it wider or narrower. For the practical lady, there are models made of base metal, and for the lovers of luxury - jewelry models.
Varieties
Well-known designers often include spectacular bracelets that are worn on the forearm in their jewelry collections. The variety of the accessory is due not only to the metal from which it is made, but also to the design and personal preferences of the customer. So, the most relevant models are:
Greek style
As a rule, such models have an elegant and thought-out appearance to the smallest detail. It can be both elegant thin bracelets and spectacular more voluminous options. Interlacing of chains, geometric shapes and drawings in the ancient style, figured perforation, as well as Roman numerals or letters are often used as decorative elements.
Sophisticated Greek style shoulder bracelets are perfect for decorating romantic and wedding looks. They will accentuate the beauty of female hands and add a little charm to the bow.
Broader, more visible and eye-catching options are perfect for embellishing casual or urban casual looks.
Of precious metals
If you want to emphasize a more solemn or elegant bow, then it is best to opt for a designer jewelry bracelet. Most often it is made from precious materials such as silver or gold-plated silver. It is not practical to make jewelry of this kind from pure gold, since the accessory is held on the hand as a result of fastening and pressure, and such a metal is quite soft and easily deformed.
Quite often silver bracelets on the shoulder are decorated with natural stones and have a composite composition in several "curls" around the arm. Thus, the jewelry will not only be attached to the forearm more securely, but also look stylish.
This is the best option for boho-style looks, as well as special occasions.
In the form of a snake
This is the most common design for a bracelet that attaches to the shoulder. It has survived to the modern fashion world, going through the history of many cultures. Often, at excavations in the tombs of Egypt, decorations are still found, on which a snake is depicted. Such accessories not only look quite interesting, but majestic and in some sense even "dangerous", which so attracts many young girls in it.
There can be many variations of the concept. Almost every successful jewelry designer considers it his duty to present to customers at least one snake-shaped model.
Stylists recommend using such jewelry in a youthful grunge style, as well as in seductive beach bows.
Alternative - mehendi
In the summer, many girls, in order not to bother with the everyday choice of accessories for their bow, make mehendi on their skin - henna painting. The forearm is one of the popular areas for this. The pattern of the drawing can be different and prepared both by the master himself, and made independently with the help of a special solution based on henna. Such a tattoo can last up to a month on the skin and, if necessary, it can be renewed.
Since the pattern does not contain any semantic load, such a "bracelet" is quite versatile and convenient - made and forgot. A great option for women with an active lifestyle.
