Bangle Fashion Jewelry Blog Posts
Apparel Search fashion blog — blog posts about bangle bracelets and bangle jewelry.
In this section you will find fashion blog posts about bangles. A bangle is typically a large stiff ring worn as jewelry around the arm, wrist or ankle — a rigid circle that hangs loosely from the wrist rather than closing with a clasp. This page is the blog post index for the topic on Apparel Search: it collects the bangle posts from the fashion blog, and links onward to the wider accessories and bracelet indexes at the top, because bangles are one member of the bracelet family.

About Bangles
Bangles are traditional ornaments worn mostly by South Asian women in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is a common tradition to see a new bride wearing glass bangles at her wedding, and bangles carry traditional value in Hinduism, where a married woman is not expected to be bare-armed. Bangles are also valued jewelry in the United States and most other regions of the world. There are two basic types: a solid cylinder type, slipped over the hand, and a split, cylindrical spring opening and closing type. The material is the other distinguishing factor, and it can run from glass to jade to metal to lac, and even rubber or plastic.
The three posts collected here are all celebrity jewelry sightings. Teri Hatcher Sparkling in Vahan Jewelry and Nanis at Disney Premiere covers a red carpet appearance built around fine jewelry. KE$HA Sparkles in Jupiter Jewelry at 2013 Billboard Music Awards is a music awards post — the same post is also collected on the bracelets index and the Billboard Music Awards index, because a bangle worn on a red carpet belongs to all three stories. Vintage Treasure Beaded Bangle by Alex is the quietest post, about a single beaded bangle; its photograph is carried in the Photos section below. The blog posts in this area may concern bangle bracelets or bangle earrings, and readers who want the shopping guides will find bangle, gold, charm, beaded and cuff bracelet pages in the topic block below.

Common Questions
What bangle blog posts are collected here?
Three posts: Teri Hatcher Sparkling in Vahan Jewelry and Nanis at Disney Premiere; KE$HA Sparkles in Jupiter Jewelry at 2013 Billboard Music Awards; and Vintage Treasure Beaded Bangle by Alex, whose beaded bangle is pictured in the Photos section of this page.
What are the two basic types of bangle?
A solid cylinder type, which is slipped over the hand onto the wrist, and a split, cylindrical spring opening and closing type, which opens to fit and springs shut. Beyond the type, the material distinguishes bangles: glass, jade, metal, lac, rubber and plastic are all used.
How is a bangle different from other bracelets?
A bangle is rigid — a stiff ring that holds its circle shape and hangs loosely — while most other bracelets are flexible chains, links, cords or cuffs that follow the wrist. The bracelets guide and the other bracelet pages in the topic block below cover the flexible side of the family.
