Bangles

Bangles are circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. There are two basic types of bangles: a solid cylinder type; and a split, cylindrical spring opening/closing type. Normally, a bangle worn by people around the world is simply an inflexible piece of jewellery worn around the wrist as an accessory. However, in many cultures, especially in the South Asia and in Arabian Peninsula, bangles have evolved into various types in which different ones are used at different occasions.
