Two Tone Bracelets A Visitor From The Past
If you are looking for a bracelet that stands out from the crowd then you should consider one of the many two tone bracelets that are beginning to be seen in many jewelry stores both the brick and mortar stores and the ones online. Many of these bracelets are created by skilled craftsmen who make each one individually so that there are no two that come out looking the same. This may be part of what has caused so much excitement in the world of jewelry.
While the concept of blending two or more metals into one item of jewelry is certain nothing new, people have been combining metals together to create two tone bracelets since man first learned to work with the many different metals that can be mined from the earth. Two of the most commonly blending metals are silver and gold, chosen because they are complementary to each other while appearing completely opposite to each other.
Perhaps it is the fact that the two metals are so different from each other that makes two tone bracelets so popular. There are those that see the pairing as an indication of the two different sides of life, the light of the silver can be said offset the dark side of the gold much like the Chinese Yin and Yang are said to represent the two sides of man. Man has been creating jewelry to show these sides of his nature since time immemorial and today is no different as many jewelers are still crafting these bracelets and many other items in multicolored metals.
Two tone bracelets can be made in different ways; one of the most common ways is to create a solid band that intertwines the two selected metals into a single band. This can be done by creating two separate bands that are then welded into one single band. This can be done by welding them side by side or be twisting them in into a single strand that resembles a cable that you might see hold a ship to its mooring post.
Another popular design includes creating chain two tone bracelets where the links are made up of the different metals. This method can create some stunning effects as different patterns can be created using the different colored metals. No matter which style of bracelet you choose it can be decorated with a variety of precious and semi-precious stones. You can also have a variety of different charms added to the bracelet to create your own individual look.
