A bracelet is a jewelry piece which is worn around the wrist. The origin of the word bracelet can be traced back via the old French word "barcel" to the Latin word "brachile", which means "of the arm".

The history of bracelets dates back to Egypt of 5000 BC. It started with materials like bones, stones and woods to serve religious and spiritual purposes.
