The big bangle theory
MANILA, Philippines - Bulky and chunky are the big stories in fashion accessories. At SM, bangles loom large and beautiful.
Bangles have had a long history of enhancing the grace and beauty of women. When the remains of the Harappa and Mohenjodaro of the Tamil civilization were discovered, beads and bangles similar to the designs of those found in Mesopotamia and Iran were found. Jewelry was also made from the hills and sands of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and in Persia — a lot made from dangly coins and Islamic half moons during the Roman, Kurdish, Byzantine, and Ottoman times.
The tradition of wearing bangles in India began in ancient times, and continues today, with women wearing gold or glass bangles in pairs, one or more on each arm. No matter where these pieces of jewelry originated, they continue to be a mark of beauty and elegance.
