3 Different Types of Bracelets

Bracelets are a great, versatile fashion accessory that can range from elegant and classic to contemporary and chic.  Continue reading to learn more about 3 types of bracelets: split, double spiral and bangle.

Bracelet

Split
The center is split into two, three, four, or five branches, most commonly three. Part of the sides and the terminal ends of the bracelet are left solid like the original metal plate – the sides can be stamped or adorned all the way to the ends.
The splits were originally made by hand with a saw or a cold chisel and a hammer. They are still done that way today but in some cases the splits are made using a hydraulic drop cutter. Source: NAJT

Double Spiral
This bracelet is very strong because we have oriented the double spiral wire component on the strong axis of the piece.  If you were to grasp the double spiral wire component by the two spirals at either end and pull, you might be able to pull this wire component apart.  If, by contrast, you grasp the double spiral wire component by the sides of the piece and pull (the same orientation as shown below) you will find that the jewelry wire component is very strong and can't be pulled apart. Source: WigJig

Bangle
Loose fitting circular bands available in assorted widths, ranging from 1/8th inch to 1 inch, are called bangles or bangle bracelets. Solid in nature, one can wear narrow ones in large groupings, while the wider ones need to be worn limitedly. Made in myriad hues and materials, you can find bangles in glass, wood, metal, plastic, bone, gold, silver, and platinum, in different price ranges. Right from plain solid color to colorful design engraved/ painted on them, you have numerous designs and colors to choose from. And best of all, they look cool on all sorts of apparels.
