A bangle is a stiff, usually round piece of jewelry worn around the wrist. Unlike a soft bracelet, it keeps its shape and may slide over the hand or open with a small clasp. Bangles can be made of gold, silver, glass, wood, plastic, or other materials. They may be plain or decorated with colors, patterns, beads or stones. People may wear lots of bangles at once.
Bangles are worn by people in many countries, especially in South Asia, where glass and metal bangles are part of traditional clothing and celebrations. The word comes from a Hindi word meaning a glass bracelet.
