Russian jewellery designers moved to rose gold in the 19th century, taking patterns and styles from around the world and applying the uncommon alloy to these with significant Russian influences! As Russian jewellers of the time were world renowned for their quality, the trend soon caught on with rose gold becoming increasingly popular in affluent Victorian England and Western Europe.
Above are examples of a single round silver slave and three interlinked Russian slave bangles. Engraving of jewellery has existed as long as jewellery has existed.
Engraving of gem stones has always been a popular form of personalisation whilst the ancient Egyptians used engraving for worshipping and offerings. In today's modern world, engraving personalised messages or popular phrases onto a personalised silver bangle is now common place. Engraving has traditionally been a skill adopted by professional engravers with each letter carved out of the metal.
With automated CAD machines, it is now more likely that engraving is machined into a piece rather than hand cut. In fact, technology has now blurred the lines as many pieces that claim to be engraved, are actually etched using techniques such as laser and diamond machine etching. Engraving is defined as a cut using a chisel or graver into wood or metal resulting in a permanent marking. With soft precious metals such as silver, engraving should be used rather than etching as the soft metal means that the surface area is easily worn away resulting in the etching disappearing.
It is therefore worthwhile checking before a purchase is made that the bangle is actually engraved rather than etched. View our new range of sterling silver bangles that can be engraved at www. Above are examples of deep engraved bangles with romantic messages.
Men have been wearing bangles for as long as women, often as part of their culture although due to the nature of the typical precious metals and craftsmanship involved, only the richer men wore jewellery.
Traditional men's jewellery was usually adorned as a measure and a show of wealth or for religious regions, especially some Indian religions where gold has long been used as a mechanism for investment saving and male jewellery is still common today. However, as is the case today, wearing jewellery was an event and not for every day wear due to the nature of the traditional male vocation which was typically vigorous and physical.
In the modern world, male jewellery has expanded significantly and silver bangles for men becoming more fashionable and now it is common place to see men wearing bangles on reality tv shows for both fashion and a representation of their wealth.
Whilst fashion icons from Jimmy Choo to global media networks such as Bloomberg have opinions on male jewellery, there has been a significant growth in men's bangles and bracelets, although they tend to be significantly more understated, simplistic in design, but heavier and often more expensive and valuable than ladies bangles.
