Gold Bangles






History
Bangles or Chudi are traditional ornaments worn by Indian women, mainly Hindus. They are worn after marriage means marriage. This tradition of the bride will try to get as many small glass bangles to wear on her wedding and honeymoon will end when the last band breaks.

They are round in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. The word is derived bungri Hindi (glass). They are expensive and inexpensive materials many as gold, silver, platinum, glass, wood, ferrous metals, plastics, etc.

They are part of traditional Indian jewelry. They are usually borne in pairs, one or more on each arm by women. Most Indian women prefer wearing gold or glass bangles or a combination of both. Cheap plastic bracelets are slowly replacing those made by glass, but those made of glass are still preferred traditional events such as weddings and festivals.

The designs range from simple and complex hand designs, often inlaid with semi-precious and precious stones such as diamonds, gems and pearls. Sets of gold and silver bracelets expensive tinkling sound. Imitation jewelry, tend to a metallic sound when ringing.
