Fashion bangles have had a fascinating
journey. From 6th century BC, when they were used as decorative ornaments to
the present 21st century, they have not only survived over the centuries but

bangles in 6th century BC, when bangles made of various materials, such as
terracotta, glass, silver, and gold were excavated at several historic sites
around India. Studies have revealed that bangles were in use in the Mauryan and
Indus Valley Civilizations. It is believed that right up till the era of the
Mahabharata, bangles were looked upon as mere decorative ornaments that adorned
the wrist. It was in this era however, that a social and cultural importance
was attached to the wearing of bangles. Since then, bangles have become
synonymous with the marital status of a woman and the social acceptance and
sanctity accorded to the institution of marriage. Therefore, while in other
parts of the world, Fashion bangles are worn as a simple accessory; to the
women of India it has immense cultural significance.
