Bangle Bracelets

Jewellery plays such a vital role in Rajasthani woman's life that every visible part of her is assigned some special ornament. One example of this is the short sleeved kanchli, possibly designed to highlight the wearer's elaborate bangles, which start at the upper arm and go all the way down to the wrists, while also modestly covering the bare arm.
Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh, India is the single largest producer of glass bangles while Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh has a bangle market called Laad Bazar. Though gold, wood, ferrous metals, rubber and glass bangles are available today, tradition requires that Hindu women wear only gold and glass bangles.Gold bangles are found as plain bangles or designer wear which are embedded with diamonds, pearls and semi precious gems. They are available in simple and intricate designs. Women also like wearing a single bangle, found in various variations like a bracelet.

Bangles are usually associated with India, and have been around for quite some time now. There is a large variety of bangles for you to choose from today like gold, metal and glass bangles. This is why choosing bangles to meet occasions proves to be quite a chore for some people.
If you want to wear glass bangles, it is better to choose them to meet your outfit as they go well with both black tie events and casual parties. It is better to wear an extra large set on both hands, while wearing minimalistic jewelry for formal wear. On wearing bold and bright color bangles, you are sure to be the focus of attention at any gathering.
You can also wear glass bangles with casual wear. Like perhaps multicolored ones with jeans and a nice top, along with flat soled Indian shoes. Glass bangles also go well with pencil skirts, pants and suits. However wear them carefully as they can hurt badly if they break.
Upper Arm

The anat is a circular armband in gold. The two ends of the ornament are not joined and are shaped in the traditional form of lion head.

Bajuband or Bhujband
The bajuband in gold or silver is worn on the upper arm, just above the elbow. It is a flexible, circular armlet and made of interlocking metal units, threaded on a black or

multicoloured dori or cord. to form a semicircular band or plate. A long lum, ornamented thread with mirrors, beads, pom-poms and other baubles, bangs from the ends of this ornament. It is, sometimes, long enough to touch the end of ghaghra and is called a talia. The wearers of the bajuband are considered wealthy, as it is a symbol of prosperity.

Chauki

This is relatively modern ornament and consists of flat rectangular or other geometric forms, which are threaded together.
Bangles are fun, flirty and perfectly summery. Wear them singly or together. Mix and match them to go with your clothes.
An armful of bangles is your summer's jewelry wardrobe. Throw in a pair of hoop earrings and you are done.

I've been fascinated with bangles since my teens. That flirty gypsy look without a care in a world appeals to me. That is the look of freedom. Imagine the gypsy woman dancing in her full, colorful skirt, her long hair tumbling over her bare shoulders and that armful of bangles jingling to the beat. She is as free as a bird flying in the air as opposed to one stuck in a cage.

A collection of bangles offer you plenty of options. You could mix and match the bangles or wear them singly. A single stunning bangle worn as a cuff can spice up a dress and look sophisticated enough for work.
