Remember these? Very popular in the early to mid 80s. Actually, I've had these since then. I bought them when I was 12. Thought I'd give them another go.

They are circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. The word is derived from Hindi bungri (glass).

Tradition of Bangles in India
The tradition of wearing of bangles in India began in ancient times. And, even today, womenfolk love to enhance their feminine grace and beauty with the help of bangles that are available in variety of forms
---------
History of Bangles in India:
There are strong evidences that shows that women have been adorning their arms with bangles since ancient times in India. One of the oldest art objects in India, the bronze figurine of a dancing girl excavated at Mohanjodaro epitomizes the antiquity and the universality of wrist ornaments in India. The figurine stands in the nude with one arm at her hip, the other arm completely weighed down with a collection of bangles. Even the Yakshinis are depicted wearing bangles. Banabhatt's Kadambari has a reference to Goddess Saraswati - Goddess of Learning, shown as wearing kangans.
Ancient fragments testify that bangles were made from terracotta, stone, shell, copper, bronze, gold, silver, lac, glass and almost any material that lent itself to craftsmanship. From simple plain circlets of metal, to ones decorated with etched and exquisite designs of bird and animal-head terminals and studded with gems, bangles in various forms existed in ancient in India.
This bangle is very similar to the Libertas bangle but is double-layered. It is sterling silver with 38 silicone spines arranged in a "V" pattern from the central rim. This one feels more chaotic than the other bracelet even though it is not so different.
This piece reminds me a lot of a crown of thorns sea star.
The measurements are about the same as the other bangle: 6" across from tip to tip with an inner diameter of about 2.75".

This striking bangle is made of hundreds of tiny glass seed beads stitched one by one. I used netting to make a stiff, round tube, which I then embellished it with spikes of different sizes seed beads. The pattern is based on Heather Kingsley-Heath's design which I modyfied -very slightly I must admitt..The juicy shades of purple tipped with drop of yellow make a color combination suitable for the bold only! This bracelet will definitely not go unnoticed.
This bangle is made of hundreds of tiny glass seed beads and countless hours of endless stitching but who cares; it was great fun! I am sure you will enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
