Time to let go of Friendship bands, Evil Eye bracelets and slip on a wristful of charms, the current style pick
Remember the time you were in school, when your cool quotient was judged by the number of colourful bands on your wrist. Friendship bands were as much a rage then as Lance Armstrong bands are now. While the former spoke of your popularity, the latter impressed with its contribution towards a cause. Then came the Turkish Evil Eye bracelets. Round blue balls with white dots for eyes coupled with some beads spelt their look. And whether they came in shipped from Turkey or the trinket store in the neighbouring sector, we all slipped them on with a vengeance!
Traditionally though, charm bracelets meant an inter-locked chain in either silver or gold with trinkets or small decoratives hanging from it. It is believed that in ancient Egypt charms were used for identification and as symbols of faith and luck but its Queen Victoria who actually made them fashionable and charming! 8220;I like the chunkier versions that come with lots of attachments,8221; mentioned model and emcee Divya Jaitely who was in town to host a show. If you are looking to flaunt one of your own, we spotted really nice ones at Dewsons in Sector 11, Ebony in Sector 9, Tit-Bits in Sector 19, Trenz in Sector 37 and the jewellery kiosk at DT Mall. As far as prices go, you don8217;t have to have deep pockets. Rs 55 to Rs 250 should get you a natty one!.
