Close your eyes and imagine yourself wearing pearl jewellery. What do you see? You might be dreaming of wearing a pearl necklace or a pair of earrings. But have you ever dreamt of wearing a bracelet? No. It is because among all the jewelleries, bracelet is the one discovered very late as a fashion statement and hence it strikes our mind very late. But human beings from Stone Age are wearing various ornaments around their wrists made of either bones or animal skins or of leaves. Wrist band or a simple lining of an animal skin around wrist to mark something was there among our ancestors. But it was a very casual affair. And even today in most of the countries a bracelet somehow is considered to be a casual style wear. Till late 70s it was not in the scene of wedding jewellery. Gradually it gripped its position among formal, occasional dressing. By 90s almost every ninth person in UK used to wear a bracelet. Even bracelet made its way into wedding jewelleries. And now it’s an essential element of wedding jewellery irrespective of the fact whether you use platinum diamond studded jewellery or traditional pearl jewellery.
Bracelet now plays an important role in bridal jewelleries. From traditional pearl jewellery arrangement to an elegant platinum based jewellery set, bracelet is there in the scene. Earlier bracelet under pearl jewellery section was made only of white natural pearls. Along with the passage of time cultured pearl came into being and so does its use into pearl jewellery. Colour variants from pink to black also came into existence. With these changes in the pearl jewellery industry bracelet and its designs also got never before looks. Just have a look at the ranges available Carla Pearls. You will get varieties from a pink pearl to a black pearl variant. Again the use of other stones and gems like amethyst, jade, citrine, turquoise with pearls are there in the varieties available in the market. But for a special occasion like a wedding which comes mostly once in a lifetime the bracelet made of white round shaped pearls is a masterpiece. Platinum, gold and silver bracelets are also available in the market. Zirconia plated bracelets are also there in the jewellery market. The zirconia plated bracelets comes from a range of as low as $15 to a maximum of $ 200 approximately. Depending on your budget you can choose anyone from them. In comparison to this, pearl bracelets are relatively costly. A simple Blue Candy made of round white pearls with oval blue turquoise available at Carla would cost you about £ 129. Other variants are also available in the market where the combination of different coloured and shaped pearls is showcased. For example one beautiful bracelet you would come across while having a look at Carla’s collection, named Miss Coco. It is a nice combination of oval black pearls with rectangular agate stones and brown crystal.
A bracelet, depending on its look, size and shape, can be used accordingly. Feminine looks in bracelets are always slimmer and sparkling in comparison to their masculine counterparts. Apart from that the bracelet range available for men comes only in metals, not in pearls. So, you cannot imagine pearl jewellery like a pearl bracelet for a groom. But a black or a pink pearl as the centerpiece is something imaginable.
