A decoration for two can unite members of one creative team, a sports team. Most often, such bracelets are products with the symbols of a particular event.
Materials (edit)
As with singles, bracelets for two are made from a wide variety of materials. This allows you to select products according to taste, style, zodiac signs, eye color or personal tolerance.
Bracelets made of precious metals - gold, silver, platinum - are more expensive than others, but they will last a long time and can become, in their symbolic value, almost wedding rings... Most often, paired jewelry is laconic to suit people with different preferences and status. Hypoallergenic jewelry steel is no less common, as it has an affordable price.
Bracelets made of leather, including leatherette, and ropes, laces acquire a daring and youthful character... They are much more economical than metal products and allow you to create images of a completely different nature - bold and catchy.
Beads and textiles of any texture and density are available and easy to process. You can make bracelets from them yourself. Such materials are suitable not only for two girlfriends, but also for couples in love, however, their wear resistance is not as good as that of metals and leather.
Non-traditional materials that are gaining more and more popularity include rubber, ceramics and tungsten. They are hi-tech, durable and versatile, making them suitable for a wide variety of clothing styles.
Most often, paired bracelets are a combination of several materials at once, for example, leather is combined with steel, and laces with beads are made of silver. Details are created from precious and semi-precious stones, minerals, shells and corals, metals, as well as small accessories - beads, rhinestones, buttons. Often, leather or textile jewelry is covered with designs or patterns.
Precious metals, due to different types of processing, can acquire non-standard shades and texture - shiny, matte, deliberately aged.

According to their primary characteristics, bracelets can be divided into hard and soft... Rigid ones keep the originally given shape, grasping the wrist tightly or holding on to it freely. They can be either completely closed, representing one ring, or open. Another type is hinged, in which the two halves are connected by a hinge. Rigid bracelets include hoops, cuffs.
Soft bracelets are flexible and pliable due to the material or construction. The most popular are chain jewelry, which consists of links connected to each other. Various technologies allow you to create classic oval and fancy openwork details from metal, creating an interesting pattern. There are many types of weaving, however, they are divided into two large subgroups: anchor and armor.
Soft bracelets are braided from cords and elastic bands or strings and wire, on which beads and figures are strung. Leather and fishnet jewelry also falls into this category. Soft bracelets are more comfortable and versatile, so they are most often chosen as paired bracelets.
Models
The idea of double bracelets is a set of two identical items or linked by a single concept. Decorations that completely repeat each other may vary in size, otherwise they are identical. Relatively speaking, any bracelet purchased in the amount of two pieces and presented to a loved one can become a pair. Among them, leather models with rivets, buckles, spikes or fan attributes are popular. There are also drawings on wide ornaments.
This variety should include bracelets-strings, which most often carry a certain meaning, and to a lesser extent are an accessory. They can be a symbol of love for a guy and a girl, or a promise given to a loved one.
Models are common as paired ones, which may differ in details, but they are necessarily united by one idea. Differences may relate to both the color of products and inscriptions, figures, drawings.
The details of the product should complement each other in meaning, so that it is clear that a single bracelet has a pair. This is how yin yang bracelets can be found. This ancient symbol is split into pieces that can be connected to each other. A similar concept includes figures of a keyhole and a key, a heart and an arrow, halves of a heart, pieces of a mosaic.
It is not at all necessary that the details of the paired bracelets can be docked with each other and, thus, represent something complete. Decorations may be similar in color and overall design, but figurines may differ. So, on bracelets for two, the presence of minerals, beads, figures of different shapes is possible. Among them, anchors and steering wheels, butterflies and flowers, girls and boys, animals, attributes of different cultures are especially relevant.
The opposite is also possible, when the details match, and the colors reflect the tastes of each of the owners. Differences in shades can relate to both the bracelet as a whole and exclusively to the decoration of stones, beads, beads.
Often there are bracelets infinity, on which there are images of an inverted "eight". This sign is equally suitable for both friends and lovers, and it means eternal affection and loyalty.
Another original option is the wings bracelet. Figures can be part of the base of the product or hang as attachments.
Bracelet lettering is another common way to pair bracelets. They are presented as engraving on metal or as a pattern on a plate. These can be both nominal variants, and the same or complementary to each other. Among the most popular: together forever, love, I’m always with you, best friends.
If the size of the product allows, then the inscription can be a famous quote from books and movies. For example, after the release of Game of Thrones, the bracelets My sun and stars and Moon of my life appeared.
In recent years, bracelets from the PANDORA brand and analog products have been particularly famous. They represent a thin base with a clasp, on which more and more figures can be strung. The so-called "charms" can symbolize any event in life, for example, a wedding or vacation, relationships between lovers, relatives and friends. Great variability allows you to independently compose a paired bracelet with signs and figures that will make sense only for two.
Care
In order for the jewelry to last as long as possible and delight its owners, special, simple care is required for them. It is especially necessary for metal and leather products.
Metal, especially silver, darkens and tarnishes over time, even blackens. For cleaning such jewelry, there are special products that can be bought in jewelry stores. At home, darkening can be cleaned with ammonia, baking soda or tooth powder.
Leather bracelets can deform, stretch or shrink over time. To prevent this from happening, it is enough to moisturize them with hand cream or special products. Textile models can be washed with powder.
To prevent cracks, scratches and chips, some storage and wearing rules should be followed:
- It is necessary to take off the bracelets before going to bed, sauna, workouts, as well as swimming or swimming in water;
- Regardless of materials, jewelry should be avoided with soap, cosmetics, water and chemical cleaners;
- Products with many small parts are best stored in small boxes or pouches, separate from others;
- Put on and take off the bracelets one at a time, do not stretch them, do not touch beads, figures and beads.
How to wear?
Paired bracelets are worn mainly on the wrists, therefore, in order for them to be noticeable, it is worth abandoning very long sleeves. Shirts, sweaters, blouses, dresses, jackets and jackets with short or three-quarter sleeves are preferred.
Depending on the style of the bracelets, you can create both a business and a casual look with them. Especially graceful models, especially on which there are shiny stones and crystals, are suitable for evening and cocktail dress. The brighter and more massive the bracelets, the more modest the clothes should be so that the active elements do not interrupt each other.
The bracelet can become an independent accessory or part of a whole set, as the trend is layering. A paired bracelet will harmoniously look with products that are made in the same style and from the same materials. A catchy ensemble can be created by pairing with rings, pendants or earrings. Some styles, such as boho, allow you to clutter your look with a lot of embellishments.
