Materials
As in the case of single, bracelets for two are made from a great variety of materials. This allows you to choose products in accordance with taste, style, zodiac signs, eye color or personal tolerance.
Bracelets made of precious metals - gold, silver, platinum - are more expensive than others, but they will last a long time and can become almost wedding rings in their symbolic value. Most often, paired jewelry is concise to suit people with different preferences and status. Hypoallergenic jewelry steel is no less common, as it has an affordable price.
Bracelets made of leather, including leatherette, and ropes, laces, become bold and youthful.. They are much more economical than metal products and allow you to create images of a completely different nature - bold and catchy.
Beads and any texture and density of textiles are affordable and light in their processing. Bracelets from them can be made independently. Such materials are suitable not only for two friends, but also for couples in love, however, their wear resistance is not as good as that of metals and leather.
Among the unconventional materials that are gaining in popularity are rubber, ceramics and tungsten. They are high-tech, durable and versatile, which allows you to include them in different styles of clothing.
Most often, paired bracelets are a combination of several materials at once, for example, leather is combined with steel, and laces with silver beads. Details are created from precious and semiprecious stones, minerals, shells and corals, metals, as well as small accessories - beads, rhinestones, buttons. Often, leather or textile jewelry is covered with drawings or patterns.
Precious metals, due to different types of processing, can acquire non-standard shades and texture - shiny, matte, purposely aged.
Kinds
According to their primary characteristics, bracelets can be divided into hard and soft. The stiff ones hold the initially given shape, clasping the wrist tightly or holding on to it loosely. They can be either completely closed, representing one ring, or open. Another view is hinged, in which two halves are connected using a hinge. Hard bracelets include hoops, cuffs.
Soft bracelets are flexible and plastic due to the material or design. The most popular are chain jewelry, consisting of links connected to each other. Various technologies make it possible to create classic oval and fantasy openwork details from metal, creating an interesting pattern. There are many types of weaving, however, they are divided into two large subgroups: anchor and shell.
Soft bracelets include braided from laces and elastic bands or woods and wire, on which beads and figures are strung. Leather and lace jewelry also belong to this category. Soft bracelets are more convenient and versatile, so they are most often chosen as paired ones.
Models
The idea of double bracelets is a set of two identical or related products. Completely repeating each other decorations may vary in size, otherwise they are identical. Relatively speaking, any bracelet purchased in the amount of two pieces and donated to a loved one can be paired. Among them are popular leather models with rivets, buckles, spikes or fan paraphernalia. On wide decorations there are also drawings.
Such a variety should include bracelets, strings, which most often carry a certain meaning, and to a lesser extent are an accessory. They can be a symbol of love for a guy and a girl or a promise made to a loved one.
As paired models are common, which may differ in details, but they are necessarily united by one idea. Differences can relate to the color of products, as well as inscriptions, figures, drawings.
The details of the product should complement each other in meaning, so that it is clear that a single bracelet has a pair. So you can find the yin yang bracelets. This ancient symbol is divided into parts that can be connected to each other. A similar concept includes figures of keyhole and key, heart and arrow, halves of the heart, pieces of mosaic.
It is not necessary for the details of the pair of bracelets to fit together and thus be something complete. Jewelry may be similar in color and overall design, and figures may vary. So, on bracelets for two, the presence of minerals, beads, and figures of different shapes is possible. Among them, anchors and helms, butterflies and flowers, girls and boys, animals, and attributes of different cultures are especially relevant.
Options are also possible, on the contrary, when the details coincide, and the colors reflect the tastes of each of the owners. Differences in shades can relate to the bracelet as a whole and exclusively to the decoration of stones, beads, and beads.
Often there are infinity bracelets, on which there are images of an inverted “eight”. This sign is equally suitable for both friends and lovers, and it means eternal affection and fidelity.
Another original option is a wings bracelet. Figures can be part of the base of the product or hang as a nozzle.
Bracelet inscriptions are another common way to pair them. They are presented as an engraving on metal or a pattern on a plate. It can be either nominal variants, or identical or complementary to each other. Among the most popular: together forever, love, I’m always with you, best friends.
If the size of the product allows, then the famous quote from books and movies can become an inscription. For example, after the release of the series Game of Thrones, bracelets My sun and stars and Moon of my life appeared.
In recent years, PANDORA brand bracelets and analog products have been especially famous. They represent a thin base on a fastener on which it is possible to string more and more figures. The so-called "charms" can symbolize any event in life, for example, a wedding or vacation, the relationship between lovers, relatives and friends. Great variability allows you to independently create a pair of bracelets with signs and figures, which will only make sense for two.
Care
For jewelry to last as long as possible and delight its owners, they require special simple care. It is especially necessary for products made of metals and leather.
Metal, especially silver, darkens and fades over time, even blackens. To clean such jewelry, there are special products that can be bought at jewelry stores. At home, browning can be cleaned with ammonia, soda, or tooth powder.
Leather bracelets can become deformed, stretch or shrink over time. To prevent this from happening, it is enough to moisten them with a hand cream or special products. Textile models can be washed with powder.
To prevent the appearance of cracks, scratches and chips, some storage and wearing rules should be observed:
- It is necessary to remove the bracelets before going to bed, sauna, training, as well as swimming or swimming in water;
- Regardless of the materials, contact of jewelry with soap, cosmetics, water and chemical cleaners should be avoided;
- Products with a large number of small parts are best stored in small boxes or bags separately from others;
- Bracelets should be worn and removed one at a time, do not stretch them, do not sort out beads, figures and beads.
How to wear?
Paired bracelets are worn mainly on the wrists, therefore, to make them noticeable, you should abandon very long sleeves. Shirts, sweaters, blouses, dresses, jackets, and jackets with short or three-quarter-length sleeves are preferable.
Depending on the style of the bracelets with them, you can make up both a business and a casual look. Particularly elegant models, especially those with shiny stones and crystals, are suitable for evening and cocktail outfits. The brighter and more massive the bracelets, the more modest the clothes should be so that the active elements do not interrupt each other.
The bracelet can become an independent accessory or part of the whole set, as the trend is multi-layered.A pair bracelet will harmoniously look with products that are made in the same style and from the same materials. A catchy ensemble can be created by combining with rings, pendants or earrings. Some styles, such as boho, allow you to pile the image with a lot of jewelry.
