Every Diva knows that no outfit is complete without bangles. Indeed, the bangles trend is huge right now, with celebrities like Beyonce Knowles wearing Indian bangles out onto the red carpet. Sure, they look great and make pretty sounds when you walk, but how much do you really know about the social and cultural significance of these popular accessories? In countries like India, bangles are more than just a piece of pretty jewelry. For Indian women, the tradition of bangle wearing dates back to ancient times!

The Significance of Bangles

In India, bangles are worn not only to enhance a woman’s beauty, but also to signify a woman’s social position. Different types of bangles and colors in a woman’s bangles can represent whether she is married, single, or a widower. In parts of India, when a woman is married it is customary for her to receive and wear white shell and red-colored bangles. This is because white bangles are symbolic of new beginnings, and red is symbolic of energy. Other colors also have meaning: yellow signifies happiness, blue signifies tranquility, and green signifies happiness. Since bangles are often seen as a symbol of auspiciousness, it isn’t surprising that most Indian women own a variety of colorful bangles to match each outfit, and now you can too!
