Bracelets are one of the oldest jewellery items, and date back over 40,000 years, with ‘X Woman’ found in the Denisova Cave in Russia having a bracelet amongst her possessions. So how long have we been wearing Pearl Bracelets? It is difficult to say with certainty however we know that early Chinese civilisations believed that wearing pearls protected you from fire and dragons, so did they include pearls on bracelets?
Pearl bracelet designs are likely to span several thousand years, and our current Pearl Bangles with precious metals will certainly be similar to more ancient forms of jewellery worn by ancient Chinese, Egyptian, Greek and Roman women.
The modern pearl bracelet is typically silk strung and double knotted, with a precious metal clasp in silver or gold, in the UK the standard length is 7½” though 7” is also not uncommon for those smaller boned. Pearl Bracelet styles often follow similar styling to Pearl Necklaces, and indeed many women will buy the Bracelet and Necklace as a Pearl Jewellery Set to ensure the pearl size, colour, and lustre are a perfect match.
