Bracelets can be manufactured from leather, cloth, plastic or metal, and sometimes contain rocks, wood, pearls and/or shells. Bracelets are also used for medical and identification purposes, such as allergy bracelets and hospital patient-identification tags. There are many types of bracelets such as, tennis bracelets, sports bracelets, charm bracelets, cuff bracelets and friendship bracelets.
Bangles are worn mainly by women, but men may also choose to wear, on their arms and wrists. They are usually circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible.
Bangles are usually worn in pairs, one or more on each arm, and a single bangle is rarely sold. They are made of numerous precious as well as non-precious materials such as gold, silver, platinum, glass, wood, ferrous metals, plastic, etc. Most women prefer wearing either gold or glass bangles or both in combination.
Gold bangles are most popular. They range from plain and simple to extremely artistic and intricate. They are often studded with precious and semi-precious stones such as diamonds, gemstones and pearls.
