STERLING SILVER CURB BRACELETS

Sterling silver curb bracelets are worn around the wrists and around the ankles and are manufactured from different materials and for different purposes. Curb bracelets are available to both men and women; the mens bracelet being of a heavy curb link. Sometimes the bracelet is made from plaited silver. There are different reasons why people choose to wear bracelets; some are identification bracelets, specially designed for older people perhaps who can't remember their names etc as well as some of them with an engraved zodiac sign on to personalize them further.. They have a broad design to allow a certain amount of engraving to take place. There are also medical bracelets, giving the wearer of such a bracelet vital information that could save his life. A magnetic sterling silver curb bracelet combines the virtues of magnet technology with the proven power of copper, long used for relief from arthritis and other problems. One size usually fits all and the benefits of the bracelet is that it looks like a fashion accessory instead of a health-care piece of jewellery. Bracelets are not confined to adults and even babies and children can wear bracelets. A new baby can receive the perfect christening gift in the form of an identification bracelet built as a heirloom to last. Mothers identity bracelets come in heavy sterling silver with exquisite fresh water pearls and have the babies names engraved.

An anklet is a form of bracelet worn around the ankle, made from gold or silver and they are exclusively confined to womens fashion. Prostitutes through the ages have chosen to wear their anklets on the right ankle.

In about 1763, few, or very simple jewels were worn in order to allow an emphasis on the curves of the figure, but the high waistlines and decolletes called for jewellery, and soon long chains, usually reaching below the waist or worn as sashes, became the fashion. These chains were made with heavy links, sometimes alternately round and square, sometimes in the forms of snakes. This same style was reduced to include bracelets. Round about 1882 the wearing of numerous bracelets became a fashion statement. Napoleon started another fashion with the presentation of a bracelet to his sister on the occasion of the birth of her daughter. The bracelet was set with stones of which the first letters formed her name. In about 1900 it became the fashion for young girls to wear silver bracelets. These were called begging bracelets, as anyone who touched one of the charms was expected to add another to the collection. These name and motto bracelets became extremely popular. Curb bracelets are available in tight links or loose links and some of them come with charms or pendants. Watches for both men and ladies are also available in bracelet form and also makes the watch look like a piece of fashion jewellery instead of just a timepiece.

The sterling silver curb bracelet for all ages and genders is a glorious creation of the jewellers of past times.
