The symbolism of the jewel

The name of the jewel is inspired by the Scandinavian given name "Tyra", which means "strength".

The bangle bracelet is a jewel steeped in history. It is worn across different continents and by many cultures and civilizations. The oldest traces come from India and Pakistan and date back almost 5000 years. It is also found in Viking, Native American, Greek, and Roman cultures. In the past, it was used to indicate social rank depending on its material and was often synonymous with wealth. Paradoxically, it was also worn by slaves when they did not have their chains to indicate that they already had an owner and were not free. Today, the bangle has become a very trendy and essential fashion accessory. It is a symbol of freedom.

Gold plating is a process steeped in history. This gilding technique has been used around the world since antiquity. Once a sign of wealth and power, it now conveys elegance.

Choosing your size

Before ordering your bracelet, check the size that suits you.
The size depends on the morphology of your wrist and how you want to wear it.
Measure the circumference of your wrist with a flexible tape measure, or if you don't have one, use a thread or a strip of paper and then measure its length with a ruler.
Generally, the bracelet size is 1 to 2 cm larger than the wrist circumference. It all depends on how you want to wear it, loose or tighter.
A bracelet should not be too tight or too loose to avoid injury, discomfort, or lack of elegance.
It is advisable to measure a well-fitting bracelet that you wear regularly to help you choose the size of the new one you wish to order.
