bracelets

bracelets from the Hermitage Museum.]]A bracelet is an article of clothing or jewelry which is worn around the wrist. Bracelets can be manufacturingmanufactured from cloth or metal, and sometimes contain Rock (geology)rocks, wood, and/or Animal shellshells. Bracelets are also used for medical and identification purposes, such as allergy bracelets and hospital tags. In the late 1980s, "snap bracelets" -- felt-covered metal bracelets that curved around one's wrist when gently hit against it -- were a popular fad.The recent use of colored silicone rubber as a material for producing sports bracelets was popularized by Nike, Inc.Nike and Lance Armstrong through the Yellow Livestrong band. Its success has led to the use of these 'awareness' bracelets as low cost tools for information campaigns and charity projects. These sports bracelets are also known otherwise as 'baller id bands', 'wristbands' or 'baller bands'.The in-line thin diamond bracelet that features a symmetrical pattern of diamonds is called a tennis bracelet. According to diamondbug.blogspot.com - Diamond Bug, in 1987 Chris Evert, the former World No. 1 woman tennis player and the winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, was playing in the U.S. Open (tennis)U.S. Open. She was wearing an elegant, light in-line diamond bracelet, which accidentally broke and the match was interrupted to allow Chris to recover her precious diamonds. The 'tennis bracelet' incident sparked a new name for the item and sparked a huge jewelry trend. Tennis bracelets continued to be worn by various tennis stars like Serena Williams and Gabriela Sabatini.Although the term 'armlet' may be technically similar, it is taken to mean an item that sits on the upper arm. The origin of the term 'bracelet' is from the Latin 'brachile' meaning 'of the arm', via the Old French 'barcel'. Taken in the plural, bracelets is often use as slang for handcuffs.

Glass Fashion Jewelry
We are producers of glass fashion jewelry, completely handmade in Germany. A big part of the production is flamework, i.e. we work in front of a glassblower's lamp and we use colored glass rods and strings, dichroic glass or glass splinters and create our items one by one, forming the hot glass individually. It is impossible to manufacture one item exactly the same as the next, so each piece is a little one-off. Another part of the production is made in fusing technique, i.e. flat glass elements are molten together in a furnace. We manufacture necklaces, fingerrings, ear posts, ear clips, bracelets, brooches and many other items. We are able to do ranges as well as one- offs. You can see all our works at our website, www.galerie-glaswerk.de There is an online-shop at the site, but we do sell only to retailers, wholesalers and importers. We do not sell to the public. Our price range is from ca. 6,00 to 35,00 Galerie Glaswerk was founded 1983 and we are exhibiting at the Frankfurt Ambiente and Tendence since 1993. Also we have participated or are participating at the New York Gift Fair, the Paris Bijorca and many other international trade shows. Thus, we have a lot of content customers in all parts of the world. Though we might look like a rather small company, we are absolutely not afraid but well experienced in producing bigger quantities.
