When meeting a man, women most often turn their attention to three aspects of appearance: figure, face, hands. Therefore, it is very important to make a good impression and show each of them in a favorable light. This can help men's bracelets that emphasize the style and originality of the owner.
Such jewelry was popular even in the period BC, when representatives of the nobility, lord and kings emphasized their wealth and origin with the help of jewelry. In Russia, even before the XIII century, men wore silver bracelets-bracelets, decorated with pagan-themed ornaments. Then this tradition gradually died away and returned to the middle of the 20th century, when American teenagers began to wear bracelets on their hands. Gradually, this fashion was adopted by adults.
Currently, such jewelry is popular in many countries of the world.
Types of Men's Bracelets
All jewelry for men is divided into two types: soft and hard.
Soft bracelets are divided into the following types:
- Chain - are an ordinary chain of small size;
- Glider - made in the form of a chain of links that are interconnected by hinges or a spring mechanism;
- Wicker - are openwork ornaments that are connected in a variety of ways from various materials.
Hard bracelets are divided into:
- Springy, i.e. made in the form of an open ring, which is easily disconnected;
- Closed, i.e. made in the form of a single ring that does not separate;
- Hinged, i.e. made in a shape resembling a watch bracelet. They have a characteristic hinge clasp.
Metal bracelets
Classic types of wrist accessories for men are most often made of gold, silver, platinum or stainless steel. Such jewelry is suitable for any occasion and can be combined even with a business suit.
Men's bracelets made of steel and other types of metal can be made in a conservative style, i.e. in the form of a simple chain with different weaving, or in the original style, i.e. using inserts, engraving or made of contrasting materials. In addition, recently, jewelry design options have expanded significantly.
Wicker and rubber jewelry
Less classic options are men's leather wristbands, woven from ropes or threads, as well as assembled from beads. This type of jewelry is popular with representatives of informal subcultures, creative people and youth.
Leather bracelets can be made using thin weaving, and can be wide, covering the entire wrist. Rope or woven accessories can also be made of any materials and any thickness. Most often, such jewelry, made by hand, symbolize friendship or a closer relationship.
Men's rubber bracelets have long been very popular. Jewelry made of black rubber of jewelry type, combined with metal inserts, look beautiful and elegant.
These bracelets are quite light, so they do not create any discomfort while wearing. In addition, they look stylish and expensive. Like metal, rubber jewelry can be made both in the classical style and in a more original, youth style.
Bracelets made of modern materials
Recently, jewelry made from fairly new types of material has become very popular: tungsten carbide and high-tech ceramics.
Recently, men's rings have been made from tungsten carbide, so it is quite popular. This metal refers to hard alloys, so the bracelet does not bend, is not scratched and always retains its original appearance.
Compared to tungsten carbide, high-tech ceramics are slightly less hard and lighter. In addition, products from this material are silky and warm to the touch.
Decoration Features
Despite the wide variety of types of men's bracelets, men prefer metal products. Therefore, such models should be considered in more detail.
In order for the metal bracelet to fit well on the hand, not squeeze it too much and at the same time not slip, it must correspond to the size of the wrist of the wearer. To do this, you need to measure the circumference of the widest place on the wrist where the bracelet will be located.
To select a tight-fitting jewelry, you need to measure the circumference, while not too tightly pressing a centimeter tape to your hand. To select a slightly hanging accessory, you need to add from one to one and a half centimeters to the resulting number.
The sizes of bracelets are divided by the following indicators:
- XS -16.5 cm;
- S - 17.8 cm;
- M - 19.0 cm;
- L - 20.3 cm;
- XL - 21.6 cm.
Types of weaving
Types of weaving men's bracelets are divided into three types: "Bismarck", "armored", "anchor" and weaving "lace".
Bismarck weaving jewelry is classic. Such accessories are in high demand and go well with any style of clothing. Additional processing with diamonds gives the bracelet a special elegance and chic. In addition, decorations with such weaving are made exclusively by hand.
The "shell" weaving is the second most popular after the "Bismarck". The difference between bracelets is a special technique of execution - the links of the bracelet have a flattened shape.
Anchor weaving is loved by many men. Unlike the previous types, all links here are perpendicular to each other. The links of the decoration can be both small and large. In addition, the originality of weaving makes such bracelets strong and durable enough.
Weaving "lace" is similar in appearance to a rope or rope. A large role in this case is played by the thickness of this lace. Due to its different sizes, jewelry reflects different types of character of the owner. Most often, men choose bracelets with heavy and massive weaving to emphasize the firmness, strength and determination of the owner.
Choices
In our article, photos of men's bracelets of various shapes and from different materials are presented. But when the need arises for choice, eyes begin to run up. If you choose jewelry for a man yourself as a gift, you should take the choice very seriously. A very important role is played by the preferences, style and taste of men.
For business men, the classic metal jewelry option is best. You should choose a bracelet with a massive, thick weave. In addition, it will not be amiss to choose an ornament with a complex pattern, interesting elements and ornate transitions.
For men who lead an active lifestyle, not very massive bracelets in the form of chains with a flat or curvy weave, as well as leather or rubber bracelets (provided that the owner will protect the bracelet from contact with salt water) are perfect. The bracelet should be chosen with an unobtrusive and uncomplicated pattern that emphasizes the beauty and strength of the hand.
For conservative men, bracelets with not very complicated weaving with a minimum number of additional massive elements are suitable. They suit elegant, quite expressive and not defiant jewelry.
Outrageous and extravagant men, you can choose any bracelet. Especially suitable for them are heavy and voluminous jewelry of non-standard shapes and types.
When choosing an accessory, it is also necessary to consider the physique of a man.
Currently, there are a lot of models of men's bracelets, therefore, taking into account all the features of the appearance and character of the future owner, the jewelry can be found for every taste.
