Cuff Bracelets are the latest fashion trend and not only do they look great but they are a striking statement piece that gives a casual outfit the wow factor!

We have always considered the Cuff Bracelet to be 'boho-chic'; quite often celebrities such as Nicole Richie and Blake Lively are spotted wearing them.  Although, it seems that all the celebs are tapping into this hot summer trend; Rihanna was spotted wearing one with her swimsuit which goes to show that you can literally glam up any outfit.

The History of Friendship Bracelets

One of our most popular pieces of jewellery is our delicately made friendship bracelets. They are the perfect gift to show someone how much you treasure their friendship. Although friendship bracelets are a huge current trend, they have a long history that we wanted to share with you.

The History of Friendship Bracelets

Friendship bracelets are handmade bracelets given as a gift to a special friend. Typically they are made from several strands of embroidery thread that have been entwined to make an intricate pattern. The knotting is a form of macramé; this uses knotting instead of weaving or knitting.

The making of friendship bracelets originates from Central America and was first seen in the USA in early 1970’s. It is tradition is to wear the bracelet until the threads wear down and fall off naturally to honour the hard work that was put into making it.

The friendship bracelet fashion has evolved and is now associated with not only the original woven threads from the USA; but incorporates European and far eastern threading techniques.  Patterns for more complex friendship bracelets are made from various different materials and many other contemporary styles introduce charms, symbols and mixed uses of crystals, gold, silver and precious stones to make a bracelet that is more out of the ordinary.
