Frequently asked questions about women’s bracelets

Bracelets can be divided into many types, usually more than four. The most common categories are bangles, charm bracelets, tennis bracelets, chain and link bracelets, beaded bracelets, cuff bracelets, pearl and gemstone bracelets, leather bracelets, and infinity bracelets.
A bangle is round and rigid, forming a full circle without any clasps or hooks that usually feature in regular bracelets. Bangles are particularly significant in Indian culture, where they signify prosperity.
