A bracelet is a piece of jewelry worn on the wrist. Arm jewelry goes back to the beginning of human existence. People wore bracelets in the form of single or multi-link chains as jewelry as far back as the Paleolithic Age.

They have been perceived as objects of great value since precious materials began to be used. Silver-ringed bracelets were occasionally used for bartering or payment. The Celts used to wear silver armbands as a statement of their power and symbol of their nobility. Hunters also believed that bracelets were a symbol of protection.
