Today, Indian bangles have made a comeback and in this second coming, they’re bigger, brighter, and more versatile than ever. Gone are the days when Indian bangles were solely for Hindu men and women alone. These days, just about anyone wears Indian bangles. From working women to little girls, from belly dancers to bridesmaids, females everywhere are taking to bangles like ducks take to water and they’re wearing their wristpieces singly, in pairs, or clusters.
Not all bangles are created equal, however, and more recently, one bangle has become more popular than all the others. Meet the glass bangle, India’s gift to accessory-mad females of the world. Produced in only one Indian city, Firozabad, these bangles are quite tricky to ship because they’re made of glass. What distributor in his right mind would pay for glass bangles that literally arrive in smithereens?
Nevertheless, glass bangles continue to make their way from India to other parts of the world; and wherever they go, they become prized accessories. From small jewelry shops to retail stores like Target, these Indian bangles glimmer and seduce, luring many a shopper to leave the store some dollars lighter but several bangles heavier.
What makes Indian bangles special? In the old days, they were worn out of a deeply-rooted sense of tradition. Today, they are worn for their charm and beauty. Each time you put Indian bangles on your wrists, you wear tradition in an entirely new way.
