Types of Jewelry: Rings and Bangles
By: David T.

There are many types of jewelry out there. Among the types are necklaces, bracelets, rings, bangles, anklets, and earrings. Some of the most fun pieces of jewelry are rings and bangles.

Rings are typically worn on the finger. They are worn as ornamental jewelry. Rings are worn not just by women but also by men. There are rings that appeal to both sexes.

Rings can be made of practically anything. Some of the most common materials used as a ring are plastic, bone, gemstone, wood, and metal. Gemstones like emeralds, rubies and sapphires can also be set into rings.

There are many sizes of rings. Rings can be made to fit practically anyone's fingers, from very slim and long to large and round. There are also many rings that mean different things to different people. There signet rings, wedding rings, engagement rings, championship rings, and toe rings to name a few.

Bangles are a completely different breed from rings. Bangles are worn on the wrists and arms of people, usually women. Traditional bangles are circular in shape and are not flexible.

Bangles originate from the Indian culture. In this country, bangles are traditionally worn in pairs on each arm. A single bangle is very rarely ever sold.

Different kinds of bangles come in a variety of colors and metals. They can be made out of silver, platinum, glass, gold, plastic, wood and other kinds of materials. Indian women usually wear gold or glass bangles or both. Glass bangles are preferred for traditional Hindu functions. Most glass bangles are made in Ferozabad, India and Hyderabad, Pakistan.

Gold bangles are very popular among young Indian women, though. Designs of these bangles are wide-ranging. They can be very artistic or completely plain. Gold bangles can also be adorned with stones, like pearls, diamonds or gems.

Expensive bangles are made much differently than the bangles that are cheap. Higher-quality bangles are made of better golds and glass and other fine materials and are, therefore, more expensive. The cheaper bangles are made from a gold (or other material) that has a smaller amount of content within it. This is why there is a wide price range when it comes to purchasing bangles.

Bangles also make different sounds. This also depends on the quality of the bangle. Other than the basic clanking sound plastic and metal bangles make, some bangles make very pretty or varied-pitched sounds. If the quality of a pair of gold bangles is high then they can make some very soothing, clear, and higher-pitched sounds.
