Arm Candy 101
10:10 AM
No, we're not talking about a hot guy linked to your arm (although who wouldn't want top-shelf arm candy like that, right?). We're talking about bracelets - that ornamental jewelry people all over the world have been wearing on their arms for centuries. Archaeologists have found artifacts of bracelets that go as far back as the Ancient Egypt. The earliest bracelets were fashioned from bones, wood, and stones. In the Bronze Age, artisans began making more decorative bracelets out of gold and silver and adorned them with gemstones and shells. These days bracelets can be made with anything from embroidered thread to silicone rubber.
Although the reasons for wearing bracelets have changed over the years, nowadays sporting arm candy is a fun and creative way to express your personal style. Just below we've assembled sets of bracelets of different styles.
Bohemian Beauty
These earthy organic bracelets are typically made from semiprecious stones, leather, and plated metal - perfect for someone who embraces the free-spirited bohemian style.
Dainty bracelets like these usually have flower designs, polished pearls, and glittering crystals. They're great for someone who tends toward a sophisticated feminine style.
Minimally Chic
These modern bracelets are simple and understated in their design. They're generally made from plated metal alone with little to no decorative stones or crystals - great for someone who has a more minimalist style.
Stylishly Sporty
These bracelets are great accessories to go with any sportswear. They're not only stylish but also practical for someone who is active and always on the go.
These four designs we've assembled are certainly not all of them and you definitely don't have to stick to one design. You can even mix and match across styles if that's what you prefer. But we hope we've at least given you a jumping off point if you're looking for the perfect arm candy to express your personal style.
