All About Bracelets

A bracelet is jewellery that is worn on the wrist. Bracelets can be made of leather, cloth, metal or synthetic materials, and can have rocks, wood or shells inlaid or attached.
As well as fashion items, bracelets are also used for identification and medical purposes, such as allergy bracelets and hospital tags.
