History and meaning of the men's bangle bracelets:


The use of jewelry goes back to the beginnings of humanity; Neck and arm jewelry in the form of simple, but also already multi-link chains is already occupied from the Paleolithic. Since the discovery of copper and bronze processing capabilities, they have been turned into rolls, wafers, beads, rings and slices. The use of organic substances such as animal teeth or amber, however, decreased.

Coral bracelets are still handmade in Tibet and are extremely popular in Europe as jewelery.

With the discovery of metalworking in the Bronze Age, glassmaking and the development of plastics, the range of materials used has expanded. With the use of precious materials, the jewelry was also a valuable asset. The bracelet, worn in the form of silver rings, was at times a means of payment.

The bracelet also served as a shield on the hunter's and warrior's wrist and as a protection against sword blows. Among the Celts, male warriors wore silver bangles as a sign of their nobility and as an expression of their power position.

The bangle is derived from the armilla, which belonged to the coronation regalia of the German emperors.

In addition to the primary importance of the bracelets as jewelry, they also have a more extensive function, such as the watch straps, which make it possible to wear a watch on the wrist and are also made of leather, metal or synthetic. Such wristwatches for watches can now also be equipped with additional functions. As a result, access authorizations, monetary values ​​or personal data can be stored in the wristband, among other things. By the Rembordieren, the seamless joining of upper and lining leather, leather bracelets now also have a very high water resistance.

A relatively new development are so-called sports bracelets, which are usually made of neoprene and where iPods and other MP3 players are attached so that the display can also be seen during sports, for example when jogging.

In hospital, hospitalized patients receive a patient wristband that provides information to avoid confusion of pages and intervention, and to properly allocate medical documentation, such as drug delivery, most often automated, using printed bar codes. In neonates, the color of the bracelet (pink or light blue) also provides information about the baby's gender.

In the sports field, for example in the swimming pool, there are plastic bracelets with a key or chip, which provide access to certain areas, such as the dressing room. Sometimes they even serve as a cashless means of payment.
