By: Ritika Changrani
SUMMARY : Men realize that
wearing a bracelet is to make people
aware of their fashion quotient and
of how cool they look, so they have
started wearing bracelets as part of
their daily attire. Be it a meeting,
party or any casual outing, men can
be seen sporting fashionable
bracelets in different designs and
materials.
Bracelets are worn on the wrist. For
centuries, men and women have worn
bracelets made of different metals.
Delicate bracelets are a symbol of
femininity while thick and wide
bracelets denote strength and
masculine character of men.
Bracelets are slowly emerging as a
fashion accessory for men.
 Well, have you always been feeling
that bracelets are meant just for
women? You are definitely wrong. In
fact bracelets were actually meant
for men in the olden days. Bracelets
were in vogue in the Grecian times
when men and soldiers wore bands for
protection and also as a symbol of
status and prosperity. They were
made of leather to which gemstones
or gold were added to make them
attractive. Later women started
wearing delicate bands and found
that they suited them well. It was
then that bracelets became common
among women too.
The increase in demand for bracelets
for men has been realized by the
retailers and designers who are now
bringing out more and more designs
into the market. What's also adding
to the demand of bracelets are the
cinema stars sporting cool items
like silicone, leather, and silver
bracelets.METALS USED
Like any other jewelry, bracelets
for men are made of various
materials like leather, iron,
copper, beads, gold, silver,
titanium, silver, platinum etc. Gold
bracelets in the form of chains or
braids are very popular among men.
They are heavier and appear more
masculine and denote strength.
Bracelets are made of white gold as
well as yellow gold. Sometimes a
combination of both is also used.
For men who prefer the steel look,
platinum bracelets are an
interesting option.
Don't want to go for traditional
gold or platinum? Consider the
modern looking titanium bracelets.
Titanium bracelets are very popular
and trendy. Men now seem to have
developed a fascination for titanium
bracelets. The durability and
versatility are the special features
of titanium, which make titanium
bracelets a must have for men.
Crafted with beautiful designs,
titanium bracelets have now replaced
bracelets made of gold and platinum.

much in vogue now. Tungsten carbide
is harder than any other metal.
Tungsten bracelets have nickel
binders for binding. While selecting
a tungsten bracelet, take care that
not to buy tungsten bracelets that
use cobalt binders especially if you
are allergic to it. Being more
affordable, bracelets made of
tungsten and titanium are very
popular among men.
Men's bracelets can be made of any
material like gold, silver, copper,
sterling silver, or even leather.
There are even bracelets made of
pearls. Diamond bracelets have now
become common among men. Whatever be
the material, men today love wearing
bracelets, provided they do not look
feminine.

patients. These bracelets are sold
to raise funds for patients
suffering from cancer and their
families and also to spread
awareness of the disease among
people.
While selecting a bracelet, the
comfort factor should be taken into
account. Since it's worn around the
wrist, it should not interfere while
working, writing etc, because then
it will be a hindrance to our
lifestyle rather than being
exemplary in its fashion accessory
role. Since a bracelet will add to
the "cool" and fashion quotient of
the wearer, men can have the
bracelet customized to match their
style preferences.
