Coolpix 8800 Bangles (Hindi: Kangan) (Tamil: Valayal) (Telugu: Gaaju) or Chudi are ornaments worn mainly by women. Indian women, especially Hindus, wear them after their marriage signifying the matrimony.
They are circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. The word is derived from Hindi bungri (glass).

Nijum dwip is an island located on the south of Noakhali, Bangladesh. It’s a small island with a population size of 10,670 (2001). Island has strict rules for women. They have to live in shadow. Girls from very early age are thought to be invincible. They will hide them self at any cost and will not come in front of any male person. This little girl was different. She decided to come out when I approached to take a photograph of her. She rebel out against the odd and curious to know the unknown.
I forgot to add a caption to this :-)
These are my Dorothy Perkins bangles. I bought them last September, on the day I first fully-dressed at home, and wore them that evening. Since then I have worn them pretty much every time I have dressed since; they seem to go with pretty much anything, and I love the feel and sound of them.
Go back through my pictures; you'll see them if you look.
The only time I can remember not wearing them is for Magic Theatre in March; I wore different bangles then, and a lot more of them :-)
Not only a gorgeous decoupage wood bangle but a tiny work of art.
The bangle has altered images of Audrey Hepburn covered with 14k gold leaf. Vernish coated for sheen and protection.
The six wooden cards are connected by Swarovski crystals in jet black.
Lightweight and eco friendly. My decoupage jewelry are water resistant but not waterproof.
This is an handcrafted unique piece of design.
Bangles made with recycled copper wire (left over from a construction project). After soldering and shaping, the bangles were textured with steel stamps and then treated with liver of sulfur. A light sanding with a fine grit sanding block highlights the textures. Various wire wrapped beads dangle.
This is actually a scientific (sort of) comparison; Same cane on different backgrounds; left, on a dark red background, right on white; right is also 'deeply cured'; deliberately burnt.
Doesn't affect the strength, apparently
A combination of the Snowflake Jade tutorial and the Mosaic Cane Bangle Bracelet tutorial--see my profile for details
I wanted to make a bangle with neon-yellow....but that is not really my tint of yellow.....so combination with grey-like-brown and a great shade of olive-gold :)
(my inspiration-photo was this: www.flickr.com/photos/rawfishdesigns/5860354592/in/faves-...
Now I can wear the neon-yellow it as an eye-catcher :) with my own colors
For the photo I waited until the sun came out.....but I forgot that februari only has 28 days......sooooooo that is why I made the photo with a flash :)
Ps: I meant the bracelet to be asymmetric, so the inner circle is just out of the middlepoint.
Even this shape wears surprisingly good :)
I loved the bangle selection in india. I didn't have any idea of what the best spots were but I still got some cute stuff. This tiny shop had glass bangles, earrings, bindis, etc... I bought as much as I thought I needed and the grand total was only about $50. Now that I look back, I wish I had bought more colors of bangles. *sniff*

Finally! I'm done with this bracelet! I've been having a split creative personality lately which has made it hard for me to choose between sewing and jewelry. The pink pearl was sort of a last resort since no other beads I liked fit the ring but Ikind of like the look of it.
A representation of a tradition, a culture and a civilization which is as ancient as the urban mankind…
Henna… the color of it is Joy… it is beauty of a woman… it is festivity… it is happiness of being together… has special significance for married women in India… the smell of it is as soothing as a rose…
The bangles are symbol of beauty… wealth… and being married… which in India is amongst utmost joys of life…
The fingers inter-twinned with each other symbolizes the strong values of the culture of living together… closely bonded family… the color of the cloth and the fabric of the cloth are signs of prosperity… the silk and the sky blue color… they not only symbolize the life-style but the life-state as well… it is all festive and joyous out there…
