Collection: Oxidised Long Set

The most fundamental difference between a bangle and a bracelet is structure. A bangle is rigid and circular — it does not open and must be slipped over the hand. A bracelet is flexible or has a clasp — it wraps around the wrist and fastens, meaning it can accommodate different wrist sizes more easily.

In Indian jewellery, bangles are deeply rooted in cultural and religious tradition — worn in sets, stacked, and layered for maximum effect. Bracelets tend to be more Western in origin and styling — typically worn as a single piece with less cultural significance. However, in contemporary Indian fashion, cuff bangles and openable bangles blur the traditional boundaries — bringing the versatility of a bracelet's easy wearability to the cultural form of the bangle.
