Chain Bracelets
The history of chain jewellery dates back to 2500 BC, with the Ancient Egyptians being the first to create these pieces. They used gold and silver links to make armlets and bracelets, focusing on personal appearance.
Chain bracelets should be worn with a slight looseness to allow for movement without slipping off. They can be worn alone for a simple look or layered with other bracelets for a more stylish appearance.

Tennis Bracelets
The term "tennis bracelet" originated during the 1987 U.S. Open Tennis Championships. Professional tennis player Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet during a match and insisted on stopping play until it was found. This incident captured the imagination of fans worldwide and firmly established the trend in popular culture. Whether for formal or casual looks, on or off the court, the tennis bracelet adds a touch of quiet luxury to everyday attire.
Tennis bracelets should be worn comfortably, fitting close to the wrist without being too tight. Keep other jewellery minimal to let the tennis bracelet shine.

Bangles
Bangles should be worn loosely so they can slide up and down your wrist easily. Mix different widths, textures, and metals for a stylish, layered look.
The history of bangles can be traced back to ancient India, where they were worn as symbols of good luck and marital status. Over the years, their popularity spread throughout Asia, with each culture adapting them to suit their unique styles and traditions.
Bangles are circular in shape and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. The word is derived from Hindi bungri (glass). The Pragnell collection includes bangles in numerous precious metals, such as yellow gold, rose gold, white gold and platinum.
