Bracelet today is one of the most important and popular types of jewelry. Not many people know that the first bracelets have been around since the Stone Age and were made of mammoth tusks. In those days they were not for adornment, but an amulet for protection against disease and evil spirits. Later bracelets were made of metal: copper and bronze, gold and silver. They were not just decoration, but indicator of wealth. They wore bracelets on both hands, and feet. The modern fashion offer many types of bracelets: made from metal, leather, wood, cloth and plastic.
